[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

Which version of Windows do you use? That happened to me when I installed Microsoft.Windows.XP.Professional.Corporate.SP2.Integrated.July.2006.MULTI.IMAGE.REPACK-ETH0 (or earlier versions, March, April, May by the same group), that's updated version with all hotfixes and security updates until July 2006.

Then I installed Windows without all the latest updates and hotfixes and no such problem. :)

my windows is SP2 integrated (made by me) and has all the updates and it change ok

and yes Microsoft.Windows.XP.Professional.Corporate.SP2.Integrated.July.2006.MULTI.IMAGE.REPACK-ETH0 will get u flame....not that i care but some people......

vertigosity: the System Properties thing is working fine now :)

If anyone is having trouble patching a certain component on their system I'd highly suggest running the latest beta XP-ize installer in Safe Mode. Windows sometimes gets stubborn and doesn't like when you mess with it's resources but in Safe Mode, the OS usually can't do anything about a hack or patch so it works. Hope this helps :)

does all the bitmaps in the system properties get skinned?

Sorry! I meant the Desktop Properties. Have I been saying desktop properties all this time? Oops heh

I didn't even know the computer bitmap in System Properties was skinned. Neato!

Oh and ViperAFK, you might not want to show your OS serial number. I dunno how anyone could use it for bad stuff but I still don't think it is a good idea. Just my advice:pp

Less than 12 hours till a real computer!

I think I'm gonna work on databasing the app skins because there is gonna be quite a few more skins probably. Expect it in 2008 :p

Thanks vertigosity for updating the downloads page ;)

Somebody compiled a huge list of apps and that's where I will start.

Are there any other unmentioned Tango skins to be added?

I'm thinking about Foobar for one.

should i uninstalled the tango pack i have installed first before i run the Xp ize ? or will it be ok to run it in safe mode as is

sorry but i dont see what people like in tango icons, i think they look like crap

thx for posting but your a troll and need to be removed from the board

depends if you ever want your original XP icons back or not

so if i run xp-ize it wouldnt bork my tango install

I say uninstall the hack-o-matic version first before installing an XPize-based version. That way, the XPize version can maintain coherent backups from then on, regardless of whether or not you need them. If it's going to keep a backup (which it does), the backup might as well be useful.

However, it will work fine if you don't.

thx for the info !

Thank you for your opinion, however, we post on this board because we like the tango icons and are appreciative towards vertigosity for making such a wonderful patcher. If we did not like the Tango icons, we probably wouldn't waste our time posting on this particular board. Simple logic, really.

@vertigosity: Okay, dude, you officially have the coolest avatars in the world. Lovin' that tango going on there! w00t!

Gah. Chat speak hurts my head.

@Inplode: I would definetely uninstall any previous version of the Tabgo Patcher before you install the XP-ize one. Also, remember to patch AND uninstall in Safe Mode. If it borked your system last time it's probably best to be safe. Heh...I found that pun highly amusing. :shifty:

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
    • ive always been fascinated by old software this is an old video player for windows from apple
