That's a big version leap from 4.x. And for those that complain about the program's ugly interface :

7-Zip Theme Manager 1.0

Many users of the excellent file archiver 7-Zip criticized its nostalgic appearance. That's exactly where "7-Zip Theme Manager", in short "7zTM", coded by KillerCookie, comes in and offers the following features:

Stylish...
* Toolbar Themes - change the look of the toolbar of 7-Zip
* Filetype Themes - change the look of archived files, for instance in Explorer
* 38 Toolbar Themes and 14 Filetype Themes in version 1.0 are already integrated


Handy...
* automatic or manual search of the 7-Zip installation folder
* convenient activation of the Themes with just a click
* Themes previews integrated directly into the program
* multi-lingual user interface - see Download area
* online update for up to date Themes and features - see FAQ #6 / #7

It's a reference to the current year. It's a misguided effort on their part.

Bahh, I would have forgotten this treasure gem if i had not seen this! I dont know why I stopped suing this awhile back, but with the new themes ( wtf, isnt it late? ) i will use this again.
