Couldn't sleep, got bored, so I read some Doug Adams, updated my Myspace page, and fooled around in PSP a bit. I whipped up a Tango-ish "shared" icon overlay and battery 16-color bitmap (It's gotta be 16 colors, because Windows sucks like that.). If you guys like 'em, then I'll have an actual visible change to go with the script update later today :cool:

I like the shared overlay the way it is, however the 16 x 16 icon overlay you show above looks pretty sweet. The bigger ones a bit jaggy though. Are you going to change the Safely Remove Hardware button?
Yeah, it wasn't bad, but I just needed an excuse to be creative for once, and it WAS a Gnome icon, I figured it needed a Tango-ish refresh :) It DOES look jaggy, though, I'm still fiddling with the vectors.

And yes, the silly little box with an arrow pointing away from it is set to be replaced... with another silly little box with an arrow pointing away from it!

did you upload the newest release yet :D im still waiting
Uploaded!

More or less copypasted changelog from the last release:

"Major" updates to the un/installer script. Will now work with multiple instances of the same filename, be more reliable, and not need the post-install script that sucks and re-arranges your icons. I hope. I also got bored and cooked up a few Tango-ish icons, rearranged (and replaced a few more of) the info/warning/error icons so that they should display properly, as well as removing the LCID field from the reshack scripts - I think that'll work better on non-English languages, and if it doesn't, it doesn't work any worse on English and shaves a few bytes off, so it's a good thing anyways.

First of all awesome icon pack. :woot: Too good. Love it. :yes: Thank you.

Now can someone confirm if these icons in Control panel stay unchanged or were left unchanged only on my system? Thank you.

Not all icons are TANGOised... yet
Yeah, there aren't even really things that seem close to being right for those things yet - and there probably won't be. Tango's supposed to be an implementation of a generic icon theme based on their guidelines, that'll fit in decently with with other icon themes; we might have to wait for until Jimmac releases Gnome-icon-theme2 and/or Tango-yast before we get proper icons for OS-management stuff. And he just had a baby, so that might be a while. Tango itself had been doing releases once every one or two weeks for a while, but activity on their CVS server is pretty low and they haven't released anything in about a month... so we'll see!

You should have a Tango-ish icon on Power Options, though.

Thanks for your reply. Well I was just wondering still this is the best set of icons ever. Whish we would get more icon packs like that. :)

Hmm on Power Options you say any idea how can I change it and why it wasn't changed in the first place? I'm pretty anal about these kind of things. :whistle:

Many thanks again.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
