My bootscreen didn't turn tango :/

Yikes. Did you try patching in Safe Mode? It's not a huge change to the boot but the flag and scroll color has changed. Maybe vertigosity has posted some help on this already.

heheh i dont want to run betas/rc1 (i knew about bootscreen in rc1, i read the topic)

i dont want any hurt/damage to my os, so i ll wait for final (coz ppl told they are lucky they have trueimage)

my pc must be stable, for some reasons (some services are running on it)

Understandable! I'm a risk-taker ;)

I already know that is a shorcut and it suposed to have an arrow, but that isn?t the normal position for it. Usually the arrow is on the down-left cuadrant and not on the up-right cuadrant of the icon.

That is normal. It's like that on my desktop too!:))

Have you rebooted twice? The process is just as likely to work as most other system files, but system file replacement for most things happens after the bootscreen's already loaded - so it won't show up until a second reboot. If it didn't work at all, the reloader would rat it out.

Finals are always really perpetual beta for this sort of thing... all you can do is cross your fingers and remember where your XP CD is for a repair install :unsure:

Is this ok? it is supose to look with the arrow there?, because all my shortcuts look like that.

Yeah - that was where the version of Nautilus included in Ubuntu when I started porting icons laid its shortcut icons, and it's stuck there ever since.
I'm sort of back. I'm on a mobile on an island with no power. At all. Period.

Mobile tango sounds cool :p

Big v do you have an idea on when final?

Not even a solar panel or a hand crank to recharge your mobile? Better save that battery ;) I think I've seen a Tango skin of some sort for some mobile platform. I don't remember which or where I saw it, though, even if I did know which mobile platform you're using :p

I was originally planning on Monday, but that was before I started nuking people's installs. I need to do some more testing, I think I've tweaked the buggy section to at least leave the system runnable, but I wasn't paying attention while I was doing it - busy chatting it up with my dad about car stuff. I'll be busy helping him rebuild a car tomorrow, so I'll probably be too tired to really work on the patcher. So... sometime next month!

I don't know if there's a screensaver with the pack but I just made one anyways.
There's one with Beta 2 on up. Pretty much exactly the same thing you did, but for all the variants (took me about two mouse-clicks in PSP to replicate the changes... yay work ethic :rolleyes:). I might nick your icon though, not that it really matters.

Post a link to the WinRAR skin? I want one, and I've been too lazy to start one myself.

I don't really lock myself to any particular VS, really... I find that Tango goes just as well with Luna Element, Codename Opus, or Windows Classic as it does with Clearlooks or Plastik. If I'm using Clearlooks, I usually prefer Schmoove's, but Tango-era Gnome uses the newer shinier Clearlooks, which that isn't.

You did make a screen saver already or is it in the works? I'm still anticipating the logon :D. I've been using the Win2000 style logon thing and it's great but I like the full graphic better. Can't wait till "next month" for the next release :p

It's made, it's in the errant "release candidate" which I've renamed-without-actually-renaming to Beta 2. I'll have a Beta 3 with the new "doesn't trash your install" feature sometime tomorrow after I've finished tweaking the XP-style logonUI to the point where I'm happy with it.

Tomorrow?! As in the day after today?! I'm drooling already...can't wait!!!

Another quick question while I'm at it. I realized that the monitor image in Desktop Properites is Tangoized which is great. I'm just getting a very large purple (I never did understand why the "invisible" background had to be purple of all colors) outline which to my knowledge is not supposed to show up. I'm also getting a bunch of wierd scanlines when navigating in the System Properties. Not a big deal for me but I thought I'd give a heads up :)

Tomorrow's just another day... (Copyright Madness sometimes in the seventies)

Anyway, any news on Beta 3 now that Neowin is functioning again?

Yep: darkt.net or benpbrown.com

Some notable bugfixes from Beta 2 (codename "Release Candidate")

*Firefox uninstalls and reloads properly if you've installed it to a location other than default.

*Will make sure there it leaves at least SOME comctl32 present, if not the Tango-modified one.

*Bootscreen is now modified on first boot, and skipped on Win2003 because it doesn't work.

*XP LogonUI

I haven't managed to break a VM with it yet, and I updated my host-machine install from Beta 2 to Beta 3 without any problems, myself. I await the deluge of destroyed install reports!

I've got a few resources to touch up and I'm working on my website. I've got a "comprehensive database" section in the works for it, with a bit of categorization and such, but I keep just whacking my head into brick wall of CSS.

      Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
