    I’m slightly disappointed by the choice of the words in this article.

    At first, the WinRAR archiver main purpose is to compress files and not to have a shiny look.

    At second, this theme isn’t a great achievement since the author simply repacked Vista icons to fit WinRAR buttons panel.
