[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 :)

    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
