Lightweight, portable and straightforward software application for turning the default ribbon icons into something else, in Windows 8

Ribbon Icons Customizer is a small-sized and portable software application that allows you to change the ribbon icons in Windows 8.

It comes packed with an intuitive set of options that can be tweaked by anyone, regardless of previous experience with such apps.

Portability advantages

Since installation is not a prerequisite, you can extract the program files to any location on the hard disk and just click the executable to run.

There is also the possibility of saving Ribbon Icons Customizer to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any PC with minimum effort and no prior installers.

An important aspect to take into account is that the Windows registry does not get updated with new entries, and no additional files are created on the disk, leaving no traces behind after removal.

Multi-tabbed interface

The interface is made from a normal window which contains several tabs, dedicated to changing the Home, Share and View icons, restoring them, modifying other icons and restoring these as well.

Change and restore icons

Any of the default icons can be substituted for a local file, as long as it has the ICO format. Changes are immediately applied and they can just as easily revoked.

The results

We have not come across any issues in our tests, since the tool did not hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. It executes commands rapidly and runs on low CPU and RAM, so its impact on computer performance is minimal. All in all, Ribbon Icons Customizer serves its purpose.
