[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

First off, great script. I've tweaked it a little bit (for my own use & purposes) and i was wondering how i would be able to modify the firefox.exe.txt file, for other programs such as thunderbird, utorrent, miranda etc.

My question is more directed to the two lines of code here:

-addoverwrite res_unofficial\vertigo\internet-web-browser-firefox.ico, ICONGROUP, 0, 
-addoverwrite res_unofficial\vertigo\internet-web-browser-firefox.ico, ICONGROUP, 32512,

I guess all i really need to know is what the '0' and the '32512' values are, and how to change them to represent other apps like those listed above.

Edit: I also just noticed that when I lock my computer (windows key + L) the new 'locked computer icon' seems to chop off the beginning of the text. Just wondering the easiest way to fix this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Ignore this post i figured it out :)

can i get confirm on if this has been updated ive looked on da but im not 100 % sure
I don't post here until it is :yes:
Anymore Screenies? I want to see what is all done. I'd rather see what is done than read about it. Pictures > Words.
I've been playing with Vista Beta 2, but I think I'll be restoring my XPSP2 image later tonight (fun's worn off). I'll get around to shooting a few things sometime this evening when the dust has settled and everything's back to normal.
Is this ever going to support Windows x64?
No. It uses Resource Hacker (just like XPize/Flyakite/Bricopacks), which doesn't support 64-bit binaries, and is unmaintained. Until someone writes a scriptable replacement (preferably one that reads the same script format), for reshack, all of the shell patcher / dynamic "pack" installer thingies cannot support x64.
Edit: I also just noticed that when I lock my computer (windows key + L) the new 'locked computer icon' seems to chop off the beginning of the text. Just wondering the easiest way to fix this?
It looks like I got lazy and forgot to put the icons in the proper order when I was adding the optimized 32x32 bitmaps. It'll be fixed in then next revision. You can't reshack uTorrent, same reason as Opera - it's a packed executable, reshack won't touch it.
Is there Tango "Burn" icon ? :rolleyes: And mail icon too, not the Gnome one.
There's the icon for k3b, the primary KDE burning app, but I don't have it included (only at 16x16 for explorer-sidebar use). What do you mean by a "not the Gnome" mail icon?

Oh, it exists, I just didn't have it included because the patcher wasn't using it. That is the official (and only, really) mail icon for Tango... there's a slightly different version used in some other icons with it closed, but that is it.

Just wanted to say thanks first of all. I was half expecting something to go wrong, but it installed absolutely perfect. Great job.

Could you instruct me as to how I would go about keeping the original icons for the network status though. The tango ones, while nice, do not "light up" enough upon activity for me to notice. I assume I'd have to reinstall the theme, but where would I find these resources for the original, what would I name them, and where would I place them before reinstalling? Thanks, I hope I didn't confuse you. :unsure:

Also, does anyone know of a tango-like application icon for Foobar to match?

I have a LogonUI replacement I'm preparing, but I'll save screenshots of it until it's closer to being ready to release, just to not completely abuse my NW-attachment-space.

The resources for the original ones would be in the original netshell.dll and xpsp2res.dll, which would be in the "original" subdirectory of the patcher. There's quite a few of them, so rather than doing compiling instructions for that, I think I might just finally get around to convincing myself to tweak the problem away the best way I know how: to do it anyways, and think to myself: Wow, that DOES look better. I think I'll solve my "I don't want to make a fork" scruple by trying to submit it to Tango proper.

I don't know of a specific Foobar icon (a tangofied rat-head, or whatever that is). I'd guess the easy proper replacement would be to use the generic audio mimetype icon, or be slightly less tango-correct and use one of the volume/sound control/status icons, or portable media device (MD/iPod/DJ/Mixx) icons. If enough people pester me, I might get around to tangofying a rat head.

There is now an HTTP mirror available for the main shell patcher (on benpbrown.com, thanks to bobp's bandwidth generosity) for those who want a faster connection than DeviantArt can provide (which is in some cases, none), or just don't feel the burning need to waste DeviantArt's bandwidth.

Darkt.net can't host RARs or EXEs. Buggah.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
