CPF v. 3 skins ...

[L.F.B]

hello everybory,

Congratulations for the new CPF, is so far the best Firewall for vista!

My question is about the interface of the CPF… is that a way to change with skins?

Excuse me but in my opinion this new interfece is very ugly… (:TNG)

…changing the skin to be like the Vista style with aero glass borders whould be much better, don’t you think?

Thanks for your attention… (:WAV)

Hi L.F.B,

we will have to wait for any skins to be made for CFP 3
for now the firewall is still being worked on and made better for all.

will be nice when we have some skins for CPF 3 though, i can’t wait for them to apprear too

EDIT: outdated

Is there any way to skin the tray icon too?

Hi,

Everyone can make skins for CFP 3 at home already! (:WIN) Just look in

\Users*****\Application Data\Comodo\Firewall Pro\Data\ResFiles
in Vista, or

\Documents and Settings*****\Application Data\Comodo\Firewall Pro\Data\ResFiles
in XP

Where ***** is your username --what means that each user can have different skins in a single computer. (Please note that if your Windows installation is not English, the path may vary, the “Application Data” part.)

There you’ll find the skins CFP uses, in standard image formats. You can edit them, or you can even replace them anew if you want.

Please share any skins you make here at this topic, we can build a community-made skins resource in no time, while Comodo staff prioritizes improving the code!

…it’s been long enough and already a new build is out to fix existing issues. I still don’t see several UI glitches fixed. It kinda smells like immature code.

Can someone confirm to me that CFP has a good skin parsing code that won’t allow someone to create malformed skins that could either crash CFP3 or cause buffer overflow errors if they wanted to?

My real question would be - given the existing glitches, can we start using the firewall’s UI customization capabilities without worrying that bad guys could have a go at it too?

[Typo]

I cant wait to see some good user made skins!

I’m not experimenting with this right now, let’s hope someone else posts, from Comodo staff if possible. But in the meantime my two cents…

Yes, those are small .ICO files in the same folder. Although I think it’s harder to find software to handle ICOs than other formats.

As far as I know a buffer overflow attack is always intentional and looking for a known vulnerability. The only theoretical possibility would be that you inadvertently created a skin that ran malicious code by means of a buffer overflow vulnerability unknown to you… Not a practical possibility. Whether someone else could inject malicious skins is equally possible impossible either if you customize or not --and besides Defense+ won’t allow any malware to create new files on your hard disc. So… as far as I know, the short answer is no.

CFP is already using skins, only the default ones. Just make the new ones in the same format, same pixelsize, and same filename, and all should be okay.

[Searinox]

I’m not talking about the possibility of INJECTING skins, I’m talking about creating a specially crafted skin which the user could install by mistake and whose result would be arbitrary code execution, DoS, or just crashing the firewall. As far as I can see that little skin bug hasn’t been fixed even in 276.

If I’m not mistaken, when you modify the different .png, they’re immediately replaced by Comodo (using the cfpres.dll) after it is restarted.

Hmmmmm… select skins???

I’ll be happy when COMODO has a GUI with the default Windows XP or Vista theme (title bar color, default buttons, etc, etc). But for those about who want selectable skins or crafted made skins it’s a good idea, the conclusion, both options are equally fine, they aren’t opposite, they are complementary.

BTW since I reported the cpfres.dll issue in version 3.0.14.276 and recreated the error I had no more cpfres.dll issues
