Download TweakVI 1.0 build 1025

Totalidea Software continues to work hard on its tweaking program for Windows Vista, as it has just released version 1.0 build 1025, the third update in a short time. The program, which curiously only works with the 32-bit version of Windows Vista, is available in three different variants. First of all, there is the free Basic version. It comes with eleven different plugins. In addition, there are the paid versions Premium and Ultimate. These go for thirty and forty dollars respectively and come with a total of 24 and 37 plugins. What these are exactly is at the bottom this page to find. The changelog for this release shows the following changes:
