[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."

    • Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky      
    • Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • 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
