Board system less confusing:
Many users complains of having the system tray full of icons. Microsoft has listened to these complaints, and now Windows 7 carries only by definition, five icons.
The icons shown are: Language, Action Center, Network and Sound
But do not think that in spite of these icons only appear that the other programs are not working. Just click the right mouse button on the system tray and select customize notification icons to access a dialog box where you can set the behavior of programs that are working in the background. For example, if you want the antivirus icon appears in the system tray you just select it from the list of applications and choose the option Show icon and notifications.
Customization:
Windows 7 has a new menu of customization. Rather than being presented a list with all options, Windows 7 emphasizes the themes, and below the large box, there are options for changing the background, the color of the window, the sounds and the screen saver.
In part, the text menus are allowing access to change the icons of the mouse pointer and the image associated with the user account.
