skins are not a problem for me its just alook its actually what avast does i like 
RedBlade8, would you be the same one that posted on my soundpack tutorial? (same name, but no 8, different email but same posting styleā¦)
I like the 5 and 6 version of avast UI. Black and orange is a good match. Itās easy on the eye.
Really, the media player wannabe version of Avast is what my friends always says everytime I mention of how Avast better then their bloated AVG.
Thatās rightā¦ Unless youāre really boring and having all the time in the world to open Avast UI and staring it for hours ;D
I find the bright orange a strain my eyes. Itās too bright. So, that is why I wanted to change it
Normally you donāt even see the GUI during everyday PC-usageā¦
Letās seeā¦delete bright orange icon on desktopā¦anywhere I see itā¦make sure avast doesnāt come up with that it is updatedā¦never scan my computerā¦and see to it that avast doesnāt come up with that a virus has been foundā¦
Then, I will never be able to see the gaudy bright orange interface through normal use !!!
Mwahahaha!! ;D ;D
You make sense. +1 to you ^^.
I do want the new avast sandboxā¦and many other new features/etcā¦
And I really do prefer what it does over looksā¦
I just donāt like the interface. So much so, I wonāt upgrade. Which has me hitting my head against the wall.
ā¦BUTā¦I really just donāt like the new interface/look. The interface looks like all the other anti-virusās out there. Itās looks so genericā¦unlike how avastās old interface actually stood out. It also reminds me of a couple virusās iāve gotten in the past that pretend to be antivirusās when they are not. Take XP Home Security 2011 for instanceā¦
ā¦It could of beenā¦
Is this the one you are speaking about?

EDIT: Thatās not the oneā¦digging deeper into postsā¦
NVM, searched for it on the avast siteā¦

Do you mean your wordpress site?
http://spgscott.wordpress.com/tutorials/creating-custom-soundpacks-for-avast/
Haha, yes, that was me, I like to customize things ā¦soā¦when I found out that I could create a custom soundpack for avast, I was surprised, and thankful for your wonderful work on that tutorial ^^. Thanks for making it. ;)
Different person, different eyes, different perspectiveā¦ OK! I got youā¦
I didnāt show my desktop icons in my machine so, no icons here. Well, if you think Avast UI colour theme is too flashy then, try to compare it with another antivirusā¦
After testing a big 5 Free antivirus (Avast, Avira, AVG, MSE, Panda), thereās only 3 antivirus with nice or passable UI. Avast, AVG, and MSE. Since AVG is a resource monster and MSE a bit heavier than Avastā¦ So itās Avast for me.
Kamendasai.
Haha, yes, you are right. 8) ā¦I hope iām not getting repetitious nowā¦nn.
Hmm. I found MSE to be more resource heavy than AVG. However, last time I used AVG on an xp computer ( to compare with my mse experience, ) was a long while agoā¦ But the using MSE was recent, and it slowed the xp computer I was using to almost non-useable-ness.
I also donāt like the way that the newest AVG is set up.
When I tried to install it, it complains that I have Avast installed :
THEN, I had to uninstall Avast, install AVG, and then re-install Avast and it works fine.
However, I got an odd downloading bug in which I couldnāt download or open anything.
The issue ( after searching around for a bit trying to find a solution, ) was AVG . I uninstalled AVG, and then I could download everything again.
ā¦this is what I posted at firefox supportā¦

That is a classic case of conflict and why you shouldnāt install two resident AVs on your system.
As David said, classicalā¦
I am also on the list who hate avast! Interface.
But i just love the look of avast forum, may be version 7 will be something difference.
Good Luck for avast 7 hope it comes soon as beta

Ashish
Yes, that one. I donāt get many comments so I tend to investigate them before approving them. Youāre welcome
As David said, classicalā¦
Welll, I had them both installed before [last year]ā¦and it worked alright.
But yes, haha, I really shouldnāt be doing that. But, I decided to go ahead with it anyways even though I knew that it could cause conflicts/failures in windowsā¦
But i just love the look of avast forum, may be version 7 will be something difference.
The forum is nice , yes ^^
Hmm. Iām not too sure I can count on 7 having something graphical thatāll interest me, but, weāll see ^^
Youāre welcome

No problem =P
Here is one of my ideas for a theme that i would call avast leafy theme. looks sort of good huh? but the buttons would look better if they was gray in this picture.
Note: This is an old idea picture i made a long time ago
http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l535/coolmario88/Avast60Interface.png
I like it Coolmario88cp
Leafyā¦yesā¦very āleafyā indeed. ;D
Somehow I donāt see that being an official skin though, even if skins where implemented.
Agree with this hommie here, totally plus the current looks great so why skin it!
I donāt think the current skin needs changing either.
Sorry Coolmario88cp , but I think the skin example just emphasizes the point about mixing skins/effects, when you mix other skins/colours/effects it just doesnāt look right as the remainder of the avast corporate colour scheme still remain and clash. So it would have to be full skinning or nothing in my view and I rather doubt avast are going to go down that road again.
Perhaps this has more to do with the particular leaf ;D
Agree. ;D 8)
Only good skin is no skin, and, for me, that includes the current one. Native UI look for teh winā¦
What would that look like I wonder? ;D I want to see. ^^
The āleafy themeā that Mario thought of looks very nice to me. =3
I would like it if the UI could look that way.
Try green or rose tinted glasses ;D
