[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

thanks, but can someone convert the firefox,IE & thunderbird icos to png 256x256? thkz

Sorry it took me so long! A giant storm came by and blacked out my apartment so I couldn't use the computer...grrr...anyway, I uploaded the PNGs I made including the Firefox, IE, Shields, and Windows Flag found on darkt.net. They are at dA:

I hope this is good enough. I'd be happy to convert and add any other icon so if there is any others just PM me or something.:))

vertigosity: I really REALLY appreciate your hard work. I flipped through pages and couldn't find an answer to this question, but is there a place I can download the .ico's themselves instead of .dlls and .exe with the icons implemented in them already?

thx in advance

The .ICOs themselves are accessible in the Tango and Tangerine subfolders of the archive - there aren't any pre-modded files.
I give up. I can't get the colors to show right.
So, what were you using for an image? I've gotten it working, but my 16-color version of the flag just feels kinda... "Wow, it's 1987 and just look at what my brand new VGA card can do!" Still, it's the best I can do, I think.

Dude vert that looks amazing, it's a boot screen remember so it's supposed to look like "wow, its 1987 and look at my new tape deck"

That flag looks awesome! It's perfect for a boot screen! :D Windows isn't supposed to have perfectly colored boot screens. It's Windows after all :p

The cool thing is that the flag still looks Tangoish even with all the nice speckles. Me likey!

I was just trying any image. I got the image to change and it was working. The colors were the only thing that I couldn't get to work. I'll give your image a try.

I have an odd question. I just restored my default icons and rehacked using the patcher and Windows Update prompted me to reinstall updates. I know I had these updates installed so I think it's detecting the hack or something and prompting to install the updates. Any reason for this and how it can be fixed?

Which patcher - stable/hack-o-matic or beta/XPizeish? If Windows Update is signalling you to install updates, it means old system files got used as the source material - the best way to get around this (with either version, I guess) would probably be to restore your system files, run Windows Update, delete your backups, and then try again. If you're running the XPize beta - reloader good. Edited by vertigosity

Hmmm...okay. I tried doing it in Safe Mode and it seemed to skin just fine. For some reason the 'My Videos' folder never gets skinned and I can't do it manually. I have no clue why it's like that but oh well. Thanks for the help!

Oh, I was using the last stable release. Not that it matters now lol

Installed 7pt2d_beta1 and there are a lot of improvements (was using 0.7.2a) Thanks vertigosity (Y)

A got a question about the icon packs (Tangerine and Gnome Icon Theme 2) i can use only 1 of 3 sets right ? I got Tango selected, how do I remove it and try other ones ? And are there previews of Tangerine and Gnome Icon Theme 2 ? Thanks.

Tangerine and Git2 both inherit most everything from Tango, so at the moment I have Tango set to be non-removable, since if its files aren't copied, everything breaks. They're not radiobuttons (yet - it's something I'm going to play with before "Beta 2"), so theoretically you could select all three, and it'd have Git2 stuff overlayed over Tangerine; no problem with that, it'd just likely look slightly weird. There's a screenshot of Tangerine on both darkt.net and on deviantart, but it's kinda old (I'm lazy.). Whenever I'm ready to declare the new version "done," I'll try to get up off my lazy bum and update it, and add a shot of Git2.

vertigosity :

Does 0.7.2c (the latest) have the new icons that exist in "+1"?

When I was replacing the files with WinRAR, the previewed icons looked identical. Or maybe I just did it myself.

Nyet, I'm lazy and didn't reupload it with the +1 stuff, which is really quite minor. One icon is rearranged (which you probably won't see unless you're using base Tango and you lock the screen without Fast User Switching), the network status lights are brightened up (only at 16x16), and there's a normal icon for k3b/burning in there. That's it. Edited by vertigosity

I have created a sort-of fansite / homepage for the Tango shell patcher, with everything needed.

I am going to try to keep it all updated with the latest downloads and mirrors ;)

A big thanks goes to MiG- for CSS help!

The only thing "stolen" on that site, is the Tango! header image, which I ripped directly off tango-project.org. Everything else is handmade. Oh, and of the course the categorised icons are from Tango as well :p

Wow Sharp! The only thing I would say might make it look better (it already rocks hard!) is if there was a bit of space between the FAQ link and the edge of the document at the top. Also, is it possible to have the cool tango category icons spced out a bit from the text? Just being critical so you can ignore me if you'd like :p

It really looks great, though! A+ Fansite for an A+ Shellpatcher :)

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
