[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

I will see what I can do. That shouldn't be so hard to realize in C.

Just to make it clear:

A guiless (DOS) program which reads the file modification date and time of a given file, converts the date and time to "YYYYMMDDHHMMSS" and writes this value to an env variable called for example TANGOMODIFIED?

Precisely, with it able to take the environment variable name to write to as a parameter (so it could be called to set env. vars on one file, then another, then let CMD do its comparison and branching magic).

I think I would seriously owe you One for this, even if it is a fairly simple program :blush:

vertigosity thanks for responding to my post.

Excellent pack i check daily for updates...

Keep the good work coming...

BTW is there a miranda/foobar skin/theme around?

I've seen both in the desktops threads, but I don't think either have been released. Your best bet is to PM the guys who are showing them off. I think there's somebody by the name of Jim Phelps working on Miranda icons, but I don't think he's released his, and nobody wants to steal his thunder. Even if I was the sort of **** who would, I probably wouldn't, just because I'm a GAIM/iTunes man (yeah, I've got RAM to burn) and I can't really skin blind.
GAIM/iTunes man eh?

Wouldnt happen to have a tango iTunes skin laying around would you ;) Because i have my GAIM taken care of :)

Nyet, Tango doesn't have icons for most of the things that iTunes uses, and iTunes' icons for most everything but the Folders fit in pretty well (I'm pretty sure Aqua/Crystal/Gnome are the primary targets for "fitting in") so I hadn't really bothered.

ViperAFK : You can get your XP icons back. If everything goes well, the patcher has a restore function. If everything does not go well you will just need 5 minutes and an XP CD to get your icons back :). Google is your best friend for an Opera icon (tangofied)

hehe thanks man, yeh well im runnig a ridiculous system atm (400mhz celeron... Don't ask haha)

Well ill see what i can do with the miranda etc icons, but yeh i guess if they want to be released... they will.

Thanks again

I already "steel" a part of the icons :whistle:

I've tried searching google, but i havn't found anything

@ ViperAFK: Linky

Learn how to search :p

It was one of the first hits that linked me to the tango site with that link.

And I'm not even using Tango Icons ;)

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the app icon, not the toolbar icons / other themey bits. That, AFAICT, hasn't been made... yet :shifty:
Yes, Ive had the theme for awhile, I've been looking for the actual opera icon to match the rest of the icons.

^ How's that work for ya? It looks a bit weird with the light source in the upper-left-hand corner above the object,

instead of the lower-right-hand corner in front of the object, but it works. IIRC, the default Opera icon doesn't even have 48x48, so... replacement FTW!

So that error with the language thing is still happening, i tried that command but it didnt do anything really (it didnt ask for my windows xp cd either so maybe i did it wrong?) is there any way i might have gotten a corrupted uninstall or something like that? im just trying to get my computer back to normal :(

Vertigosity : You need to update darkt.net with the new Opera icon ;)

Oh noes! Opera can't be ResHacked :o

Yeah, I hadn't gotten around to updating the page, Pngy goodness is up. And yeah, I as well found that out that ResHack doesn't like Opera... and it flat-out crashes ResEdit. Oh well, I'll toss it in the pack anyways, so it can be used on shortcuts. Alternatively, maybe there's a utility to decompress packed executables? Who knows!

I don't think there's a way to do "sfc /scannow" wrong, unless you had file protection actually disabled. If your CD is just an SP0/1 disc, that might explain why SFC didn't catch it, maybe? The Security Center (is that the only thing that's affected?) is only around on SP2 and up... if you're really desperate and have plenty of cheap bandwidth to throw around, the SP2 installer direct from MS might give you a fresh copy. It's... possible that the backup version got corrupted, there's always a possibility for something to go wrong when you're making several copies of files, modifying them, and then throwing them around to various places. If that's the case, though, SFC would take care of it.

Sorry Vertigosity, I didn't the find the time to write this yet. But probably next weekend (if the Worldcup doesn't come in the way).

    • I think he means you haven't reviewed previous UFC games. Of course it doesn't matter... Every time you just report on something that involves the President even if just simply what happened you guys usually get accused of being anti-Trump. We live in fun times.
    • So how did you solve the problem? Disabling Secure Boot isn’t a solution.
    • Another devilish issue surrounding these certificates is what can happen with old, unsuspecting PCs that nevertheless have Secure Boot enabled. In my case, it was a Dell with a 3rd-gen Core chip (so about 13 years old). As of the last few weeks, it was suddenly BSOD'g within about 5 minutes of booting. Turns out it was because of MS's "Secure-Boot-Update" scheduled task, which is scheduled to run 5 minutes after login. It's explained in gory detail here (this is not my post, but it was where I found the answer), but the short version is that this legacy system would need fairly elaborate, manual certificate intervention since MS's automatic cert update method cannot work. How to do that is linked late in the thread. https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...od-caused-by-scheduled-task Secure Boot wasn't at all important for this particular PC, so I disabled it to be done with the problem.
    • Winhance 26.06.12 by Razvan Serea Winhance is an open-source Windows enhancement utility designed to help users debloat, optimize, and customize Windows 10 and 11. It provides a user-friendly interface for removing unwanted apps, legacy components, and optional features safely, giving you more control over your system. With Winhance, you can improve performance, reduce clutter, and enhance privacy without the need for a clean install. Beyond basic debloating, Winhance offers extensive optimization tools. Users can tweak power plans, adjust gaming and performance settings, control notifications, and manage Windows Update behavior. Privacy-focused settings allow you to limit telemetry and data collection, while system customization options let you personalize the taskbar, Start menu, Explorer, and Windows themes.

New AI privacy groups have been added for Windows AI, Microsoft Edge AI, and Microsoft Office AI, giving users clearer control over AI-related telemetry and feature usage. In addition, new settings in Gaming & Performance introduce AI taskbar pin toggles, options to remove AI apps, and controls for AI services and scheduled tasks, allowing users to better manage how AI components run in the background and appear in the system. For advanced users and IT professionals, Winhance integrates WIMUtil, a tool for creating custom Windows installation ISOs with automated configuration. You can generate autounattend.xml files, inject drivers, and apply your chosen Winhance settings automatically during installation. Most changes are non-destructive and reversible, with clear explanations in the GUI. Whether you’re optimizing a single PC or managing multiple systems, Winhance delivers a faster, cleaner, and highly personalized Windows experience.

Winhance 26.06.12 changelog: Features Builder Mode — build a Winhance config file or autounattend.xml without changing anything on the PC you're sitting at. Flip the new mode switcher to Builder, set everything the way you want it, and save the result as a Winhance config or an autounattend file ready for deployment on other machines. Sponsors & Supporters page — the exit donation dialog is gone. In its place, an in-app page (heart icon or the More menu) recognizes the businesses and individual supporters who keep Winhance free. It works offline and is fully localized. Change History — Winhance now keeps a receipt of everything it does. ChangeHistory.txt records every setting change (before and after values) and every app install or removal, with clear headers for config imports and bulk actions. Open it from the More menu. Hebrew language support — Winhance is now available in 29 languages. New Explorer customizations: desktop icon visibility toggles, This PC folder visibility, an icon cache size setting, and automatic thumbnail cache cleanup. New "All apps view" setting for the redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, and the Windows 11 system tray icons setting is now a dropdown with more control. App-local UI zoom — press Ctrl +/-/0 or use Ctrl+MouseWheel to scale the whole app, just like a browser. New External Apps: EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Rockstar Games Launcher, PowerShell, and Helium Browser. Bug Fixes Layouts no longer clip when the Windows text size slider is set above 100%. Accessibility: Narrator now announces setting names on toggles and dropdowns, previously unlabeled buttons are labeled, and progress updates are announced. Silent updates now respect your custom install location instead of reverting to the default. Cancel in Review Mode no longer clears your app selections. OneNote is now detected correctly for Win32 Click-to-Run installs. Clean Start Menu applies more reliably by also writing the group policy path. WinGet errors are no longer silent — error details now show in the terminal output. Fixed a startup crash on older Windows builds caused by a .NET runtime regression. Config import now converts power setting values correctly and no longer re-applies an already-active power plan. Improvements App icons load noticeably faster and cover almost everything now, including legacy capabilities and optional features — they come from a dedicated, checksum-validated icon repository and are fetched in parallel. Software & Apps polish: per-icon tooltips, extra table columns, an app sort dropdown, relocated search, and a cleaner compact view. A warning now appears when the Connected Devices Platform Service is set to Manual or Disabled, since some Windows features depend on it.
