[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

I bet that's a bitmap. You'll probably need to crop/assemble a smaller image by shifting around the pieces of the one you're already using, or pieces of the normal system button widget, and then laying on a smaller (16x16?) recolored Ubuntu logo.

stylebuilder allows to change image position (img for start button), so its even easier to do

are there any updates planned vergo?

Sometime in September. Probably on Patch Tuesday again, because that makes me giggle a little. I don't really have anything amazing yet, I'm just letting it roll along, collecting up little stuff, so it might be later in Sep.

Well it looks like Mozilla has been busy with the updating of the Bon Echo nightlies (the almost-ready-for-beta-but-not-quite builds) and the visual refresh looks quite nice :). However it was to Mac OS X for me so I tweaked it around a lot and came up with an updated Tango skin. Basically, it's as much Tango-ized as possible with the addition of the neat little go and search buttons, tab bar, and nifty forward and back drop down images. If anyone is interested it's at dA

On another note, I don't know if you know this, vertigosity, but Andreas Nilsson of the Tango Project has royally mispelt your name in a cool mention of the Patcher. You're famous!!!! Oh and I third or fourth the desicion to work on skinning up the little icons in the Common tasks place like bobp is talking about. Also, any change to patch Bon Echo with the default Internet icon or something like Firefox. Just in case it's installed :p

Cheers!

vertigosity :

Where did you find the "k3b / burning icon" used in the batch patcher +1 release? I cannot find it in the K3B source, but I can find lots of different icons.

Also, does anyone want a tango3b DVDShrink toolbar? (this one won't work, jsut a preview to see if anyone cares)

  • Maybe Suicide is actually AndreasN's secret alter-ego? He can't spell vertigosity either; maybe it's time to change my name to Virge or Virgo, even though I was a Verite and later Voodoo man, and a Cancer, with normal Volvo steel wheels :p
  • Common Tasks are a bullet point for the next revision. Of course, I'm going completely Rambo on that, since I think the official Tango position on them is "having icons for that sort of thing would just introduce visual noise, and we know everybody uses cp and mv anyways." I doubt I'll go the "Tangoize the XP icon" approach, but +1 on lining up the pixels, BobP :yes:
  • There's not actually a whole lot in Lokheed's tarball-of-chaos I don't already have, and what is unique in it doesn't have SVG, so it's not quite as useful as I'd like. His PDF icon is nifty, so I might trace that or otherwise try and fudge it. Those folder icons are from gnome-icon-theme2, which is really the other bullet point for September, and the thread historians will note I've been pretending to work on for the past three months :rofl: And if Lokheed thinks he can get away with redistributing Hylke's Fox and Bird icons, I'll stop pretending the MoFo people have their snipers on me.

Any chance for a tango mIRC icon? it looks soo out of place in the sys tray.. :/

If I recall correctly, mIRC uses CRC. The icons in the toolbar of the program cannot be changed without doing a CRC hex edit. I am not sure if that applies to just the main icon though.

I just mean the main program icon, that shows when you have mIRC minimized to/running in the systray, not the toolbar.

    • 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
