How to Download & Install Internet Explorer Themes

Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Luis Estrada, and I'm a software developer. In this clip, we will talk about installing Internet Explorer skins. Internet Explorer is a registered trademark of Microsoft, and I'm in no way affiliated with Microsoft. When you look for skins in the Internet Explorer add-ons website, you get just a few results of software created by a third party. The thing about installing software, that is not created by Microsoft, is that you cannot be sure of what you will get, until you install it, and unfortunately, a lot of software nowadays, also installs Spyware or Adware, that makes your computer and Internet connections slower. Now, I'm not saying that any of these extensions are bad. Some of them are extraordinary. What I am saying, is that you would have to install and try them at your own risk. It appears that Internet Explorer wasn't truly created with graphical interface customization in mind. The reason I haven't installed any of these applications, that add skins to your Internet Explorer, is that when I want to have a web browser, looking exactly as I want, I prefer to use Opera. In Opera, it is incredibly simple to add new skins, and you do not have to worry about installing software, that might do something else, than just changing the graphical interface. In Opera, select Tools, and Appearance.Here I have a list of installed skins. By selecting each one, you see in real time, how the browser would look. You can also change the color of each. If you want to try another skin, just select the Find More Skins option. You can get a list of tons of different options. Select the one you want, by pressing the Download button. Once downloaded, the skin is applied, so you can see how it looks. If you like the skin, press Yes to keep it, or no to discard it. Opera is free, and installation is very simple. I'm Luis Estrada, and I've just shown you how to use your web browser."
