[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

Have you guys tried this on a XP Pro machine joined to a domain? I did and it presented me with a black screen :( had to restore system from backup. Home system is tangoized, but work machine does not have the latest and greatest. Also, it seems Sophos AV detects the wfpdisable.exe as a virus.

i used the latest (beta) version on a winxp pro sp2 machine on a domain, worked fine. previously i had the batch script version running on the same thing. i patched with the beta using safe mode, and all is well.

when i was using the batch version, 'trend officescan' was detecting the 'wfpdisable.exe' as a virus as well. pretty annoying. "UPX -9 wfpdisable.exe" seemed to make it stop, since trend is pretty brain dead. (this is certainly NOT a virus; it's usually detected as a malware tool.)

BTW: is deviant art is no longer working with Opera browser?

left part of the page looks smashed, so i can't even click at download link

you can open your sidebar, click on links and search for the download link. not too complicated as there is only one link named "Download".

I'm still hesitant to run the latest patch on my system. Did you remove the script version prior to running the latest beta? Which options did you select when installing?

I don't know anything... at all... about NT Domains / Active Directory / Whatever they changed the name to for Server 2003. It shouldn't be any different, unless your administrator has set an AD object to block various filesystem operations, or something along those lines. I guess I still need to play with the comctl32.dll patching code.

Yeah, WFPdisable is frequently detected as a virus. Not a whole lot I can do about that, since it's sorta necessary for the comctl32-breaking parts. FlyakiteOSX uses it the same way, gets the same false-positives. I doubt UPXing the executable is really a solution for false-positiving, since there's antivirus software out there that flags anything that's UPX packed as a virus, but eh, I might do it anyways.

any news about the WLM patch?
It's a target for next month. I didn't really feel like doing anything to the patcher over the past few days, so I didn't;))

Seems BobP had some fun making his 404 page. Crazy Canadians. Link should work again.

How do i go about using that?

EDIT - Nevermind I've taken care of it:))

i uninstalled the script version first, did a 'sfc /scannow', and then a windows update (just to be sure).

afterwards: rebooted in safe mode, used new patcher, selected everything except for the boot screen.

at any rate, i'd suggest making a backup first -- i don't mind breaking my machine at home, but the box at work needs to function. (i used acronis to image the whole thing.)

as far as the august release: how should i handle this? can i just install over top of the previous beta, or do i need to uninstall, reboot, reinstall?

CAREFUL

Not that it matters to me, I'm formatting anyway, but

So I installed iColorFolder, set it to default XP, then installed lastest august Tango patch, then installed Tango skin for iColor, and all icons are now missing.

Whatever I did, I screwed it up pretty hard.

Booting in safe mode is unnecessary now. The boot screen isn't what's been breaking - it's comctl32.dll. So that worked for you :laugh: But yeah, I recommend backing stuff up before installing it too - I recommend that to anybody. Installing anything :p You can install "August 2006" over the previous betas, that's a large percentage of the point of the new installer.

Er... so what broke? If I'm reading you right, it sounds like iColorFolder didn't clear the icon cache properly. iCF and the patcher are basically unrelated, so you shouldn't have to play with one to play with the other anyways. Edited by vertigosity

Finally a decent Ubuntu visual style:

And I almost missed it because it is not shown under 'new' in the visual styles category of dA. I want my old dA back...

It is listed under "Newest" in the Visual Styles. Just make sure your under "All Time" and not "24 hours."

    • 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
