Instruction below will provide you with steps on how to turn your “ugly duck” “Total Commander” into nice looking application. Icons were gathered from various locations on local PC (Vista OS) and Internet (X-Qute, Google and etc...) I've also modified some icons in order to fit them nicer into TC interface.
