/me patiently waits for stable build
Sometime on Patch Tuesday. I feel like doing my tiniest little part to help try to bring down the Internet every month :devil:
It's been on the list, I just haven't gotten around to it.

vertigosity, you said you are going to work in the chat icons for Miranda-IM etc.

Does that mean that I dont have to rip the ones from Jim-Phelps?

i dont think so, vertigosity told he ll get around to this in 2 weeks! (if he will)

its a long time, you know

so its better that you ll do it ASAP :D

thanks for the nice mods vertigosity. did you notice that there was a silver colored tango before the current blue? if you check the website for older versions its the one before version5 i think. maybe another color variation for your patcher? some might like silver also.thanks

I have a small request (or six) to make. Is it possible to skin the WordPad icon in XP? I don't know if it is any different than the NotePad (I never use it to be honest) but it's on my start menu and looks foogly with all that XP gradient :p. Also, is there a Tango WMP icon and/or a Office Tango icon set? Just some things I've noticed. Oh, and there are a bunch of things not skinned on the comman tasks menu in Explorer. I don't know if this is because they aren't supposed to be skinned or if there isn't a way to skin them or whatever. I'm done now :D

I've decided to release the 'alpha' version of my Forecastfox icon pack with the smaller icons. It's out of the way as it's not meant for mainstream use. It totally goes against Tango guidelines and I'm trying to bring it back up in quality. Anyone can download it and use it but it's still very odd looking :p

Might want to wait a couple hours before heading over there. I've heard dA is going to have a complete layout and content change today.

Oh! I'm also anticipating that lovely Miranda tango pack. I could never figure out how to use Miranda but I love anything Tango :p.

i won't be rebooting till 7.2.d :p
C'mon, you're running Windows, and it's Patch Tuesday... you gotta reboot sometime. 'Cause 0.7.2d isn't being released. Never, not ever.

On the bright side... anyone who wants what would have been called 0.7.2d if I hadn't randomly decided to change my versioning scheme at the last second, knock yourself out with the shiny new Super Turbo TurkeyTango Patcher, August 2006 update. Now showing at mirrors everywhere.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      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.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <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...
