[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

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!

    • I can't believe Starmer is still there...his party lost so big. He's a stubborn coot, but this is largely unenforceable, so I would imagine he'll be resigning soon. A key here is for parents to buy their kids phones sans Internet access--and set up the Internet at home, where mom and day can, you know, act like parents instead expecting the government to raise their kids.
    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences" by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The gaming giant Electronic Arts is exploring more ways to inject real-life brands into its games. Announced today as EA Advertising, the new platform is attempting to make it easier for brands to reach out for deals with the company and put their products inside titles like EA Sports FC, Madden, NHL, Skate, or The Sims. EA revealed that its EA Sports side of the company brings in "hundreds of millions of players across console, PC, and mobile" every year. Fan engagement of these titles was also touted as being "extraordinary," with 23,000 NFL seasons worth of games being played in Madden NFL daily, while EA Sports FC sees over a billion matches a day. “Players come to EA’s games and live experiences every day to play, watch, create and connect,” said David Tinson, Chief Experiences Officer at Electronic Arts. “That gives brands a meaningful opportunity to show up in ways that add value and respect the player experience, while maintaining authenticity in the worlds our teams are building. With EA Advertising, we’re helping brands become part of those moments in ways that are relevant and built for players.” Using the new program EA Advertising, brands will be able to inject their products into games in real-time via dynamic placement. EA says partners will have access to everything from stadium signage in sports games and targeted adverts to in-game content custom-made for the brands. These are described as additions designed to "enhance, not disrupt" experiences. "In these interactive gameplay environments, brands become part of the game itself, reflecting how players engage with advertising in real-world contexts," adds the company "Brands can activate across live environments, tailoring placements to meet campaign objectives, and update campaigns with ongoing optimization informed by aggregated engagement insights." Current real-world brand partnerships EA has built into its games include Visa (EA Sports FC and College Football), Lowe's (EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, and College Football), Red Bull (EA SPORTS FC), Xfinity and Peacock (EA SPORTS FC), and Mountain Dew’s (College Football).

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels A few months ago, Neowin reported that the UK was trialing a social media ban with 300 teenagers for six weeks, that testing has come to an end, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the country will ban under-16s from social media. Starmer said that this technology is making children unhappy and making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them. He continued to talk about the addictive nature of social media, saying that it uses an infinite scroll designed to lock users in for hours. He said this interferes with children doing their homework, reading, playing with friends outside, and going to bed on time. Tackling the idea that nothing can be done about social media, Starmer said: The government’s action won’t stop at social media either, the PM said. It plans to take action on gaming services and livestreaming platforms. Right now, he said, strangers can contact any child unchecked. He said this wouldn’t happen in real life, and the government is going to stop it from happening online, too. The Labour government has overseen the introduction of the Online Safety Act, a big change to the internet which includes age verification on adult websites. This has led to a fair bit of backlash, but overall, the government is pushing ahead with these changes.
