drahnier,
I understand your point. That's why we designed avast to have 2 distinct user interfaces - the Simple one (being skinnable), and the Enhanced one (being much like a normal Windows app). The fact that the Enhanced user interface (which is, by the way, much more powerful than the Simple one) didn't make it to the Home Edition is maybe pitiful, but the decision was made and that's all I can say about that.
To make the Simple user interface look like a stanard Win app is actually quite hard because it's not only its look, but also the way users use it, that is different. It's really much more like operating a CD player than a normal program...
Anyway, for conservative souls, I may suggest trying the Low Res skin which is by default hidden by the program and is only used on computers with 256 or less colors. To access the skin, go to the <avast>\data\skin folder, and rename the file "Low Res.asws" to <anything>.asws. After this change, you should be able to normally choose the skin in the Skin Browser in avast.
Dspite of this: My congrats for your revamped website. Looks very professional (and thus heavily contrasts the toyish thimes advertised).
Thanks, we're glad you like it.
Cheers,
Vlk
