Windows users have always been keen on tweaking their operating system and this is even truer when a big interface change is made. The public release of the Windows 8 Developer Preview has meant that more people that usual have been able to get a sneak peek at the upcoming version of Microsoft’s operating system. Windows 8 BluePoison is a free tool that makes it possible to unlock a number of hidden features.

If you do not already have a copy of Windows 8 installed, the app provides you with access to a download link to the necessary files – you can also download a copy of a preview of Office 15. Moving through the options in the application, you can opt to revert to the old style Start menu and access the Applications folder which is normally hidden as well as enabling the snap feature on small displays.

But if you are interested in seriously changing the look of Windows 8, the Themes section will be of interest. Here you can choose from a number of new themes  BluePoison can also be used to download and customize a leaked version of the upcoming Office 15, but this is something that should probably be approached with caution as there has been no official public release of the office suite.

You can find out more and download a free copy of the app by paying a visit to the Windows 8 BluePoison review page.
