[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

I've finally gotten around to playing with Opera.

Looking back at what all I've changed, I think I'm probably going to pull a release Patch Tuesday anyways (despite what I said earlier) - if for no other reason, I've changed some code to further avoid the comctl32.dll "black screen of death" bug.

It won't have even half of the nifty/cool stuff I said it would, though :p

using clearlooks 2.2 vs that icon looks 'smahed' a bit for Opera

(after adding paths to INI file)

The VS is irrelevant (of course), but Opera does smash that icon. I've gotten around it by giving it a special 16x16-only version (just don't hit alt-tab, Windows'll scale it up :pinch: )
When using Opera, it sometimes conflicts with default .html icon, Opera's icon sometimes shows up or vice versa.

I'm a lazy negro slave so I don't have pics sorry

You're gonna have to give screenshots, otherwise I won't be able to figure out what the heck you're talking about, or decide if it's even my problem ;) Edited by vertigosity

hello vertigosity! Still using your set with loads of fun, it has almost become a standard where i live. Everyone who sees my desktop wants those icons to, and for me, after half a year of use, i still enjoy lookin @ my windooze :)

i have a a question, not specialy for you, but for all who can help me in the right direction :)

is there, or can somebody think of a way to slipstream this set in an install CD, so that its patched before i install it. (preferable automized, or semi automized). Its not that a big deal, but since i install lots of boxes for my friends and all, and they all want the TANGO set installed to. i was just thinkin out loud :)

further vertigosity, enjoy the month off, nothing needed what should urge a september release :)

again, thanx mr!

as you can see .htm aren't affected

Those icons are beautiful vertigosity...

Have you made lower res yet, or do I have to keep dreaming?

Also, I was poking around some Photoshop files looking for the control (to tango-art-libre-ize) and look what I found :p

PSART.dll --> PNGF --> EL_SLPASHART.PNG

w00t!

How exactly did you replace the resource?

resedit thing is weird...

Yeah, ResEdit is pretty buggy, and even in places where it doesn't crash, it can be sorta awkward to actually use - the only thing I use it for is converting PNGs to 32-bit BMPs and back again. Plus, if I can make ResHack do something through its GUI, I can probably make a script to do the same thing, which means it can go in the patcher.

It bugs up the WinXP-style start menu, making right-clicks useless.
That's an interesting bug in its own right - what are you doing to produce that?

Change the icon in the "folder options" control panel. That's all I'd be able to do for ya, anyways.

Well, nothing. I used Reshack to patch the icon to Winamp, then saved it. I tried using my WinXP Start Menu afterwards, and I couldn't right-click anything on there but my icon and my "All Programs" link.

Sorry for the double-post, but I figured out what was wrong. Apparently, I disabled drag-and-drop on my start menu. My bad, carry on.

Anyone have a good icon for Tango YzShadow taskbar?

Also, NOD32 and nVidia taskbar icons!

Also, where is the volume control taskbar icon located? Creative Audigy driver replaced the standard icon with their own, and I want to resedit it back!

Thank you for making this awesome shellpack! Everytime I download a newer version it gets better and better!!!

Does the complete (orange/blue) shellpack realy have ONLY 2.2 MB (@ Dev-Art) ?
Yep... it seems like every time I go on a mad adding spree, I find a new compression algorithm that packs everything in tighter. Moving from Zip to a RAR self-extractor saved a bit of space when adding Tangerine, and NSIS LZMA blows RAR away. Heeeeey... that rhymed. Sweet.

The normal mixer icons are in system32\stobject.dll and also in system32\sndvol32.exe (earlier versions pulled it from there), but I'd bet the Audigy installs its own mixer software. If it is a seperate application, and you figure out what executable it is, send me the binary and tell me what path it's in, and I'll get it in the next release of the patcher in a manner similar to how I'm whacking the nVidia mixer.

If NOD32 is actually any good (as most NWers seem to think) it probably does a file integrity check on itself (so a virus couldn't infect it directly), preventing any modification. AVG and Steam both do this, I know, I've tried.

If the nVidia taskbar app works the way I think it does, it might be something I could convince myself is possibly worth prioritizing, as I use Ultramon myself for what IIRC is similar functionality, on my ATI card - and its XP-themed icon sticks out.

Thanks for answering the qestions vertigosity!

-I've located the Creative Volume Control app, do you have an email addy I could send it to?

-Yeah, I thought of the same thing when it came to NOD32... so A/Vs are usually no go.

-What about YzShadow? Got a good replacement for that?

-I don't know how the nVidia thing works, but it is the nVidia icon that gets installed by all drivers.

THANKS!

    • 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.
