[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

If I want to switch from the orange set to the blue set, do I need to uninstall/reinstall, or can I just re-run the installer choosing the blue set?

I think all you have to do is just rerun the installer. I may be wrong. Vertigosity keeps updating the patch so it's better and better and doesn't have to do all the long drawn out patching stuffs :p

I wanted to use Firefox 2b1 but keep a tango skin but couldn't find any that are compatible with 2.0.....so I just made one :shifty:. It's nothing special. I'm still working on getting absolutely everything skinned for Tango but it works nicely with 2.0 and keeps the native Windows style. Now, I know that Lokheed made a skin similar to this one but it's with the Tango set on a share-alike isn't it? heh. Here it is. Still in it's early stages of skinning but operable.

I get a 'file not found'...

Oh...er...hee hee. It disappeared! No matter, I was going to update a newer version anyway. It should be on dA now at this link. Sorry 'bout that! That damn throbber is going to drive me crazy. Anyone know a good way to convert frame by frame PNGs to animated GIFs?

Id take a screenshot but I dont have time.

Do you know the window that comes up when a file that isnt associated with a program is double clicked?

The "Windows cannot open this file.... What do you want to do? ..... Use the web service or select the program from a list" window.

Well the icon top left is an orange folder with a search icon. Im using the blue tango icons. Surely thats a small bug?

:)

I think that's part of the Tango icon set. Not sure from what version but I've seen it here and there. I like it :)

Yerp. That's a bug. I thought it was appropriate for the Win2k/XP style search, since that happens in a special shell folder-y thing, but the same resource gets used for both places. It also gets used for the saved-search filetype, which is what the icon is supposed to target, so I think it's staying for now.

Edit: Er... yeah, it is supposed to be orange, though. Tangerine uses a yellow "saved-search" folder, and Tango itself does use an orange one.

theres a blue one called "cairo VS" which is basically the same but not as glassy, but the window borders are the same but blue, it was on deviantart but I can't seem to find it now, ill upload it in a sec

It's totaly different from the other 1 in many ways.

Both VS are great. Used Cairo and Human back in my Ubuntu days...

But to stick with the topic: thanks for the Tango Icons. I love them. Same as with VS, first thing to do after a Ubuntu install: get the Tango icons... hehe...

They are almost as great as the ones from Bluecurve found in Fedora Linux.

Anyway, questions:

1. In the full start menu every icon gets replaced, in the classic menu not. Found a default connections icon not replaced in shell32.dll.

2. Outlook Express has modified button bitmaps in the prog but the icon is still default.

3. Windows Live Messenger didn't experience any changes.

4. The Alt-Tab icon for IE7 Beta 3 got replaced, all the other icons don't. A look at Iexplore.exe showed me only 1 replaced icon.

Hope that helps... If somebody already posted my results, I'm sorry, too lazy to read through 55 pages...

k, just a quick recolor job in the trial version of stylebuilder. rpeview is below. i don't really like this version as of yet, which is why i'm not focusing on making the shellstyle work correctly. that's to do on your own. i'll be working on a thinner taskbar version in the near future for personal use, and ONLY with the permission of the author will i ever release it to the general public.

here we go.

It's a port of a GPL skin. You might hold it back just to be nice to the porter, but you've already got redist rights.

1. I'll try to track it down and get that one fixed for next month.

2. Yeah, that's normal. I haven't decided what to put on that yet.

3. WLM will have some minor stuff as I fold BobP's emoticon patcher and more Git2 icons in. Next month.

4. IE7 checks WGA, which means I'd have to commit to installing it on my host machine. I can't install it in a VM because I use a... different... version of Windows inside them :shiftyninja: Eh, I'll suck it up and reactivate System Restore sometime.

5. Arbeitsplatz. I giggle every time my silly American tongue tries to pronounce that :rofl: Literally, "work station"?

Hey, this version is great! I never liked the creamy overall look. The grey is much better!

Now if anyone can tell me how to change the spacing between the All Programs items and the Quickstart icons?

Just a warning, but Trend Micro reports:

Crck_Tango

on install. It finds 2 of them. I'll report back after reboot to check whats happened.

Crack Tango? Nice... I never realized my surefire install-nuking was such a threat to network administrators :rolleyes:

1. I'll try to track it down and (...) BobP's emoticon patcher and more Git2 icons in. Next month.

Great news. Good to hear... err... read.

Hmm... right, WGA. Got a brand new license with my new laptop, otherwise I, eehm.. wouldn't... eehm... anyway :D

Are you in need of the EXE or the whole install? Can send you over the files, no problem for me.

For the Arbeitsplatz, it would rather be workplace than work station, but plays too. As for the pronunciation it's something like "r-by-zz-plau-tz" ouch, must hurt a germans eye... :laugh:

i realized in the middle of the night about the whole gpl thing, i just didn't know if it applied to the whole ubuntu thing, but seeing as it's part of a linux distro, it would be that way huh?

anywho, hopefully soon i'll be able to have the thinner taskbar version done, i think i may have to do a little work on the taskbar button sizing though, we'll have to wait and see about that though. anyways, i'm glad others out there like my little mod, after the thinner taskbar is done, it'll probably take the place of guiairb1 as my fav style.

i'll keep everyone posted as i get going on this. cheers!

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
