Some of the smileys don't match. I noticed after I downloaded them. Also the sizes on some of them are smaller than the rest.

I think I will wait for a better set.

I cant finish my version of it because I accidently deleted my projects folder with the icons in it.

I only have the ones that I send to other people with GMail which is the MSN protocol and the main protocol icons.

Something i threw together for "vista drive"..

if you don't know, vista drive is an application for windows xp that automatically replaces the hard drive icons of your hard drives, to reflect the % space used/freee.. much like the hard drive meter thingy in windows vista.

I have created these tangerine icons for vista drive, for my own use, but i'm sharing it with you all too :)

regretfully, i will not be making matching icons for the original tango icon set, as i prefer the tangerine icons.

preview of all of the icons:

where i can find the application?

Is there a Tangerine IconPackager or IconTweaker theme around anywhere? Or is there plans for one? Just I' having problems with the icons for certain file types (specifically media files like .avi and .mp3). Tried re-patching the system, but it didn't help.

I've seen the Tango one available, but a Tangerine version would be great!

is there a "Blue" (real Tango) version for that?

Well i created those, if/when i decide to use the normal tango icons, i will probably make a matching set of icons :)

ofcourse, anybody is free to modify these, as they still fall under the same redistribution license as the tango icons.

:cool:

i would thinks its time for you to get busy then

Well it isn't as easy as it looks. I for one have no clue how to go about doing anything for Miranda. I don't mess with DLLs (I think that is what format those packs are in). Anyway, the hard drive meter thing shouldn't be too hard to Tango-ize, should it? It's just replacing the images and colorizing the meters blue, isn't it? I don't know :p

Has anyone seen a Windows port of Cobble or Tempura by Lokheed? If not, I might try and throw one together. Those themes really are the shiznit. :p

If Miranda skinning is done by distributing packs of modded DLLs specific to the version they were done for / came from, then it's a prime candidate for being added to the patcher. Of course, it's not like I have enough time at the moment to maintain the patcher as it is, and I never really could get into using Miranda.

I'd personally love to see those two GTK themes ported to an XP VS. A while back, somebody at gfxOasis started a port of Tempura, but used HmmXP as a template and refuses to release it until he gets permission from Fugacious, who is presumably gone.

For everybody who likes emblemated icons, I found this random app that gives Explorer Nautilus-like emblemation abilities while goofing around on Aquasoft. I'm going to play around with it, and if it doesn't give me any problems, I'd love to dump my pre-overlayed stuff in favor of a nice theme for that.

Irioq got permission from Fugacious, but then his dog broke his leg and his copy of Stylebuilder expired... :x This port seems to be vaporware.

I would also appreciate a port of Tempura or both...

I'm working on a Tempura port.

Have a look at this screenshot I did a few days ago:

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

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.

      you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
