I started to work on the last half of the icons for the Miranda-IM pack :)

But I do not know yet how to give it to you guys cause it's a rip from Jim-Phelps his pack, and everyone knows :p

I really can't get into Miranda's groove (yeah, I know, it's infinitely customizable, but I just can't get... comfortable with it, I like Gaim out-of-the-box, really), so it's all yours. If you're worried, grab the source material directly from the Tango project and re-composite everything, then it's legit and properly CC-by-SAed, and plus, you'll have proper alpha channel stuff, which you wouldn't have if you were pulling stuff from his screenshots. Extra cookies if you use the Gnome-icon-theme2 protocol icons that weren't out when Mr. Phelps did his teaser shots, although that introduces ultar-ghey license incompatibility issues.

Edit: I just found his thread, and realized that at least some of his teaser material is in transparent PNGs. You're probably OK using that as long as give him attribution.

Alright, but it's gonna take a while for me to finish the icons and release them cause I'm going to remake a few with the official icons and I'm working on some other projects :)

And I'm not working on all of my projects everyday :p

So give me some time to finish the pack.

Your blue version is better than the other. The other is too bright for me. Yours is colorwise perfect. But the taskbar is broken for me (the background is black). Please fix this.

Or simply unlock taskbar, resize it a little bit, size it back to normal and lock again. That should fix it too.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
