The program offers changes on two levels - a first level for non-technical users with descriptions in "plain language", and a second level for power users.^[2] It was recommended by Personal Computer World as "a very useful tool that doesn’t require advanced knowledge."^[3] ExtremeTech called it "the mother of all control panels", praising its "ability to dig up useful and obscure information", but criticising "a lack of help for problems uncovered".^[4]

Tweak7 was developed by Stardock^[5] and distributed as part of their Object Desktop suite. It was co-distributed by Advanced PC Media (Steve Sinchak), which held a trademark on the term TweakVista.^[6]
