-You need to search first.

-You need to read the thread first.

...and welcome to the boards.

I've got a quick question before I install the current version. Will this mess up my computer? Last time I installed it using the hack-o-matic way, my computer got stuck at a black screen, and I had to reinstall. Thanks in advance, guys! :)

I'm extremely sorry for the double post, but I decided to bite the bullet and install it anyway. I worked! My only remaining question is why does the boot screen look pixelated on my system? I can deal with it, but it looks kinda weird.

is this safe for windows 2003? i don't wanna mess up the server at work...has anyone tried it ?
It's as safe on Win2k3 as it is on WinXP, but really, you shouldn't be installing it on a "production" machine, unless you have a good disaster recovery system or are incredibly brave/stupid. It'll work (I've done some testing in a VM), but do it at night after everybody's left and make proper backups first.
allow me to change styles without using an extra annoying program. if there is a way to change style , plase reply. thanks , diego1
You're looking for the Universal UXTheme Patcher. This patcher lets you apply a (specific) icon set to system files... a similar process, but with a different target file and end result; the two are not mutually exclusive. Several other packages, such as XPize, FlyakiteOSX, or CrystalXP include a UXtheme patcher and visual style selection, but I don't really consider any visual style to be a part of the icon set, as such don't include a uxtheme patcher either.
:cry: Oh well, it still looks cool :cool:
A nifty little effect I've noticed, if you stand a few feet away from the display, and/or turn off display stretching on an LCD (even on a 14'' 1024x768 LCD, 640x480 is pretty small), the dithering fades together and you can hardly tell that its all dithered :cool:
what happend to the tangoed thunderbird icosnt aht was in here lol i looked back 10 or so mages but i cant locate it i delete it and its gone i need it back
For which, the app icon or the toolbar icons?
i need 16x16 icon for my Opera communicator
You've already got it, you just need to extract it from the multiple-size icon. There's a few programs floating around that'll do that.

Woo-oot.

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 :)

Actually, I think I've got a better hold on not toasting the WinSXS comctl32.dll file and causing the boot-to-black-screen bug. So that is worth an update; sometime in the next couple weeks, I'll decide I've got a stopping point, make sure everything works, and make a release build.

As for automated installs, if the default settings are good, the "/S" switch (case sensitive) is supported to make a silent, un-attended install (that's supported by any NSIS installer, IIRC). If the default settings don't quite do it for ya, I'd have to put some work into reading other command-line parameters or an answer file. I don't plan on making a tool to modify the installation source, it doesn't seem like it makes that much sense to me, but a silent install seems like a good compromise.

I have a little question. I don't know if this question has been asked before but I don't really want to or have the time to go through all 71 pages so I just ask it. If it's been asked before I apologies.

The question is:

Is there anyway to get the Tango icons in .ico format instead of the patcher? I'm one of those persons who like to have control of everything and I want to install the icons manually. :shiftyninja:

benp has the.ICO and. PNG source files on his blog...I think go back three pages or so. ALso, if you search 'Tango .ICO' I think there is some circulating on WinMatrix.

Yep, they both exist, but they use fuzzy blobs for the smaller sizes. Which... most Windows people seem to prefer :| I sorta consider that broken, but then since I haven't gotten around to make a icon/PNG collection of my own, a lot of people would probably rather just consider me broken.

Oh yeah, that reminds me, since we have a "demt" here now... "demx" or "deanach" is the name of a visual style somebody here wanted a few months back that nobody (well, me at least) could remember the name of. Funny how human memory works, isn't it.

Hey, vertigosity, is it okay if I add your WMP and WinAmp PNG's to my Tango PNG pack? It was requested. Completely up to you!

@bobp: If you can manage the get that Internet Group Chat icon (two white talking bubble things overlapping) converted to clear sizes I'd be in great debt to you! I'm trying to reshack my Trillian program and the Im icon blows up whenever I use it heehee

Yeah, knock yourself out. You get enough resolution out of the versions I posted here for it?

"internet-group-chat" is part of Tango base... so it should already be sized, no?

    • 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
    • In the way that you framed it incorrectly. You wrote: "The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install" There's no "constant need to close all browser sessions". That's factually incorrect. The browser downloads its updates in the background and installs them when you open it again. Silently. And there's no "wait for a new version to install", updates are small and take 2-3 extra seconds AT MOST, if any. If you have an SSD, there's zero extra time. Also, every mainstream browser operates this way. Firefox, the FOSS go-to browser, the default on almost every Linux distro, does exactly the same. Also, you don't need to constantly restart Edge for updates to install, you can completely ignore them and it doesn't even ask you to handle them, it's all silent and automatic. So I don't understand what else do you want.
