Reply to Important Security Information for Yahoo Users in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="kryo" reply="4" id="3661007"] MD5 has been known to be vulnerable to collision attacks for twenty years, and to trivial practical attacks for more than ten. Yahoo's continued use of MD5 for password storage is little different in 2016 from having stored them as plain text. [/quote] At best, I'd have to call that "a very poor and disappointing choice" on the part of Yahoo's management. At worst, I'd call it something else.

Reply to How to Change Background colour on Taskbar icon area in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="DaveBax" reply="8" id="3660633"] So what skin are you using? [/quote] Doesn't matter - I changed it to "none" and tracked down the color it started using. I don't know whether or not the O/P's skin has an image specified, he can check the color in WBConfig if he likes [e digicons];)[/e]

Reply to Having trouble installing the full IP ive downloaded. in IconPackager WinCustomize Forums

I don't know if this will help this particular issue, but try loading the theme/package twice in a row in this order: 1st time, right click on your icon packager icon and launch the IconPackager program using the "Run as administrator" option, then apply the theme. 2nd time, just click on your icon packager icon as you normally would, then apply the same theme.

[quote]Will WindowBlinds allow me to achieve this? [/quote] Sorry, no, you can't just make adjustments to the default Windows theme. There are however many, many Windowblinds themes available, ranging from minimalist to elaborate.

Reply to Upgrade Windows in Fences WinCustomize Forums

Yes. Best thing to do would be: Use Fences "Snapshot" feature to backup your configuration. Copy those files to another disk (e.g. external drive). Go into Fences and deactivate it. Uninstall Fences, then reinstall it and activate it after the upgrade and copy your snapshot files back over. I'm not sure how well restoring a snapshot would work after changing Windows versions, seems like there could be some location issues and I haven't done

[quote who="ASARussell" reply="5" id="3658824"] so changing the colour is easy, but has unintended consequences. [/quote] That's really how it works - there are relatively few colors and they tend to be used in several places. It's usually best to make subtle changes, leaving darker colors somewhat dark and lighter colors somewhat light.

Reply to Microsoft Photos app not working as default app in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Mine broke once, but with a different error message. If your Store App works, try launching that and do a search in it for "Microsoft Photos". Once you get to the app page it'll tell you if it thinks the app is already installed. If it thinks it is, you won't be able to download it. If it doesn't see it as installed though, download it and install it.

I remember seeing in a recent thread where someone had caused himself a problem with Chrome by unchecking "Use hardware acceleration when available" within Chrome's Advanced settings. You might make sure that is checked.

Reply to Please, can the tray area in Windows 10 Anniversary Update release be fixed? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Ya the clock has become a bit unruly. I think it would be really cool if they could build an option into WB Config for the user to choose which and how many lines of it he wants to show - Stardock impressed me so much with the new "ribbon" option that of course now I'm wondering what else they might be able to tweak within WBConfig [e digicons];)[/e]

Reply to Startisback++ Broke my Start Button in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

I've just now downloaded the skin and installed it on Win10. Based on your image and my playing with it, it seems like your Win10 taskbar settings are set to "Use small tasbar buttons", at least that's how I can reproduce the look in your "in practice" image. If it's "on", try turning that option "off". Also, the original screenshot would have been made in Win7, on Win10 even with large taskbar icons the top and the bottom of the button are slightly cut off, th
