We should rename vertigosity to TANGOsity ... lightbulb.gif

Hah... no. I'll always be vertigosity. Now, the shell patcher itself, I have considered renaming, both as part of my decutesificiation work, and because typing "Super Turbo Tango Patcher" in the "run" dialog is a bit of a pain.
Any progress on the cards?
Haven't touched 'em. I've been throwing some effort at getting Git2 finished, and getting source packages of stuff used in the patcher up.

(which, I'm happy to say, I have - see the link in the all-informing First Post. Linear+ is cool.)

So, as a Total Commander and Tangerine lover, I thought I'd create a file icon set for said application. It's a complete set (16px), but no drive bar seeing as the existing package has everything needed.

For installation, just follow the instructions by following the "existing package" link.

Are you planning on using XPize for the Git2 patcher as well?

Anyone got Tango Firefox 2.0 theme?

Thanks sooperdoode :) Ive been searching for this ubuntu sound scheme and can't find it anywhere :(

Not a problem. Glad to be of assistance ;)

As for the Ubuntu sounds, I thought I saw them around somewhere but I might have imagined it. I think the system sounds can be easily swapped (does it require a file patch) but I'm not exactly sure where said sound schemes would be located. I'm an idiot when it comes to searching for things properly :p

The Windows sounds are located in C:\windows\media :shifty:

Thanks Bob/BobP :D

I wanna go look now :p

Hmmm...was someone planning on trying this out? It'd just be icons patched here and there right? It'd probably be best to model the actual skin off of a visual style since Tango is only icons. But what do I know? :p

I grabbed the Ubuntu sounds from Dapper and Edgy last night. They kinda remind me of some of the sounds from Win95. I'll throw it up on BobP's server sometime later tonight, but it's a bigger archive than the patcher :p (2.6MB) - I'll play with 7zip to see if it gets better compression than RAR, and wait until I'm not using bandwidth for anything else.

I don't know of any other distributions that have sounds like that, really.

Uhm yeah so this fscked up my windows install. I disabled all anti-virus/spyware/firewall before installing it. Now when my system boots up I get a ntoskernel.exe or something is corrupt error. Great. Well it's not gonna be fun reinstalling considering I have like 3 OSs on here...:(. Thanks anyways

Bad news, I agree ... :cry:

It works without problems on most machines, maybe your

config is very special or complicated ? When you have a fresh

WinXP try it again (in Safemeode, press F8) ...

Good luck ! It`s a fantastic shellpatcher :wub:

Yeah, kernel palette changing is completely a hex-editor job; and it seems to fail more often than I'd like to hear about. I'm thinking I might change that option to be off by default and completely "at ones own risk," and use a static image (no caterpillar-bar) by default (which should also work on Win2003).

Booting in safe mode doesn't really do anything these days - it was just to get around WFP on a normal boot.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      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.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <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...

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      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.
