Something you have to know
- What is the reason to use Personalization Panel?The answer is simple - it is a small, even portable application and it does not break your OS and does not modfy any of system files. It just works. Also you can always ask us for help - this is a good reason too.
- There are two types of setup available - portable and regular. Regular setup in only one way to get proper theme switching and system integration.
The portable setup does not handle any type of files and applications will be not available from desktop context menu.
Regular setup is recommended way of installation to you. - Privacy statement. Since version "Personalization Panel 2.5" I have added simple updates check in panel. It does not send any type of your personal data to me. It cannot be used to personally identify you.Everything it does is simple window what shows the new version numbers when it available. The goal is to help you to stay up-to-date and nothing more.
- Why we made rebranding. Because we won't to use Winreview.ru as development corner. Today its just my personal blog.
- Whats next? I plan to implement desktop slideshow and themepacks creation in the near future. BTW, themepacks already done but I have exluded their code from this release due to bugs. Stay tuned!
