[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

nice to hear, any hints on a date when it will be ready to release (or wont you do a seperate pack for orange?) looking forward to those and the bootscreen (maybe? pleeeease!!)

Orange is out, with version 0.9.0ubuntu1 piggybacking with 0.7.2. I hadn't planned on doing a seperate pack for Tangerine, because it takes so many dependencies from base Tango, and I can pull a few non-orange things that the Ubuntu Art Team did for Tangerine that fit in well with normal Tango (like the CD/DVD icons that apparently never display properly :whistle: versus my simple overlaying job) that it's more space-efficient and less duplicated work on my part to just include it as a sub-pack.

If I do a bootscreen, it'll require Stardock's Bootskin, to change the color palette in ntoskrnl.exe, you have to hex edit it, and that's a wee more more mucking about than I want to do, let alone support. An Ubuntu brown bootscreen might actually be pretty easy (not requiring any real creativity on my part), I might do that just for fun sometime soon :)

Ok. Now I am totally confused.

Don't worry, you're not the only one. (And by that, I mean I don't really know what's going on myself, either.)

My final verdict on this is, for everybody the bug is bugging: Did they actually change to differentiated icons BEFORE patching? If so, I've set the wrong icon on one or more entries, and I can fix that in a jiffy by modifying the script. Just by looking at the icons, it looks right to me at present, although I only have a CDRW drive and don't have enough different kinds of media to test all the combinations. But if it didn't have differentiated icons in the first place, the shell hardware detection service and Explorer are to blame, not the patcher and its associated scripts, and it isn't my problem nor could I could anything about it anyways.

Problem solved vert,

Against my own will i had to format (GRRR) and after a total fresh install i applied the shell patcher and TADA!

Now the icon in my computer changes perfectly unpon putting an audio cd or dvd into the drive.

Im so glad it works as intended now but lol it took me some hours to do, i hadnt backed up my HD in a while i had alot of collecting to get done :|

No! There are so many Vista packs out there...

Yep. Personally, I don't think Kudesnick's Vista Icons Pack is half bad.
I rather see a pack for other icon set like gperfection? than another vista pack
I kinda already have done Gperfection2, or at least parts of it - I used it to help fill in the gaps in more than a few places for my Gnome pack. Still, there's a bunch of icons in it that are from Gnome-icon-theme rather than Gperfection2. We've got a few months before I need a break from Tangerine, maybe then I'll make a more Gperfect sub-theme to the Gnome pack;))

I think the next thing for me to stab at is the patcher, it's time to cook something decent-er up... XPero might be offering me bits of the XPize installer, Shacal's back from the void and working on GUIReplacer 3.x, and I've been working on converting my own logic to VB6 so I can do the sorts of nifty things that need a real programming language to be implemented. Either way, the hobby just refuses to die:DD

Indeed tried fresh install and icons (drive icons) indeed work! :D

I SECOND THAT :yes:

I would third that if I didn't like Tango better. I would continue working on Tango if I were Vertigosity.

But what about someone porting Lokheed's Tempura gtk theme to a visual style? He already gave me permission to do so but I do not have the time in the next few months.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design.

Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
