Reply to LastPass may have been hacked–This just in from ghacks.net UPDATE in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Just a quick question, are my passwords safer stored on my computer, with Keepass or other alternatives, than they are in the cloud with LastPass? having read several articles on the LastPass problem, it would seem that LastPass has been very responsible in it's actions on what is a relatively small problem compared to the hacking problems some have faced in recent months & their expertise in security would be far superior to mine on my PC.

I think you can only change the colour, in SS7 - Edit Vista / Windows 7 explorer - folders bar - extra settings - background colour, you also have to skin the folders bar which is a Vista only part, to get the setting to work in Windows 7. The favourite links background is also a vista part.

Congrats, Mark, I am sure you will soon get into the swing of looking after junior, my daughter took only three days off work when she gave birth to her daughter, she could not afford to do any other, being self employed, so Granny & I had to gear up real quick, but it all came back really quickly. Don't forget, when he has finished his pirate training, he needs to be introduced to skinning & Wincustomize.

Reply to Windows 7 skins in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

1. Folders bar - although the folders bar does not show up in windows 7, only Vista, I find you do have to skin it in the windows 7 sub section, because you set the colour for W 7 folders background in the "extra settings" setting under folders. 3. Resize bar does not show up in W 7, I skin all 3 OS, in XP I incorporate the top border of the taskbar in the resize bar, & in Vista & W 7 I include all the border in the taskbar background. I hope this makes sense, it is af
