[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

@Daeron re. Scheduled Tasks: Scheduled Tasks shouldn't be being patched, full stop. If it is, it's the anomaly. What's it being set to?

@Daeron re. WinSXS Comctl32.dlls: All the instances visible in those screenshots are in. Did you install the October revision before or after the latest Windows updates? If before, re-run the installer.

@Daeron re. Tango MSN Smilies: I lost my copy of the MSN installer, didn't feel like delaying the "October" revision for me to redownload it. I might get to it, but it's honestly not really a priority for me.

@Martin re. WAB skinning: The main icon should be skinned, and the toolbar should be skinned - that's all. Anything more, post a screenshot, and I'll tell you if it's correct for the current state of the patcher.

@Nordoleum: I'd already planned on taking another trip through the network connections shell stuff; I'll try to make sure I get the UPnP device icons in for the next revision.

@Tehmemories: What do you mean by card symbols? That sounds like it might be a nice quick easy trace job, for the heart/spade/club/diamond. The King/Queen/Jack/joker (if it has one in there) might be a little bit more involved, of course.

But it would look abe be bad ass. I play solitaire all the time and I think it would be perfect. Time is of no importance in creating the graphics. Even if we just had a 'king' crown or a 'queen' crown or something to emblem-ate the 'jack' so we don't have to go indepth with pictures.

Here is my WAB:

Nothing is skinned although the patcher does copy a wab.exe.

Here is my WAB.exe:

Windows Address Book actually stores all of its resources in wab32res.dll - take a peek at the log for it in the patcher directory, I haven't made documentation yet to say that it now saves logs, but it does :)

Hmmm. Well, it sounds like something that might be fun to fiddle with in my spare time, so I'll have a go at it :)

In the logs directory is only a log for wab.exe - no log for wab32res.dll.

^ This just borrows elements from the categories/applications-games icon... but I think it's got a nice classic "card" feel to it. It still needs some tweaking, but what do you Solitaire junkies think of the basic idea?

Interesting. Is wab32res.dll not in the same directory as wab.exe on your system?

Vergy, you are da man! The patcher finally makes my IE7, WMP, and all the little teensy icons on the explorer task thing all Tango and sexy. The Windows Security center looks spiffy too :)

Just a little poke...the Forecastfox Tango icon thingy is at a new link in dA so should be updated on your app section at your website (if you want to update it that is)...oh and it's SooperDOOde. Not a big deal though :p

Now if I can only get this damn Trillian systray icon to change...

Blame BobP ;) - the page has been updated. I'm diggin' the pair of Firefox skins as well, I'll probably change that page to point at them sometime later.

Thanks for the update. Not that I care if the stuff is publicized but I didn't want someone who wanted the skin getting all bothered because he or she couldn't find it. Even though all they'd have to do is search for it ;)

You're kidding about the Firefox skin thing right? Are you talking about the Tango and Tangerine ones I did? You couldn't possibly be talking about those. They aren't anything special...I just figured I'd do them for my own use and share for whoever else wanted them. I'm surprised they've gotten so popular. I can't even make a dang foobar tango icon :p.

Great job on this guys!

Firefox updated to version 2.0. If you didn't get it yet you should try. It's really fast.

Along with this though, we lost the Firefox icon (back to original) and the tango theme is not compatible with 2.0. Anyone wanna update these hehe? :D

Ah, Firefox 2.0. The epitomy of perfection! Now I humbly wait for the obligatory "ONG!11! U R a fanboye!11shiftcapitalonecard!enter!1" ie7 ish waaaaay beter1!" I'm so evil :p

I installed a clean version of FF2.0 and then ran the patcher and everything (I mean that literally) was skinned to Tango. Maybe try and run the installer or reloader again?

    • 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.
