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

boo.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.

    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Uhm, that's every business ever, though. It doesn't matter if a bajillion users are using it. As long as it's not making bank, it's probably headed for the graveyard.

      Samsung is the new Google... they don't care if millions of people are using it.

      Still no word on Tides of Annihilation...... so weird that it wasn't shown at the big Game Fest. Guess I'll put it in the bin like Judas and Squadron 42.

      Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions by David Uzondu Samsung has announced that it is shutting down Samsung Max, its VPN service used by more than 50 million people, effective today. Samsung Max VPN, if you don't know, was an Android app born on February 23, 2018, out of the ashes of Opera Max, a very popular data-saving VPN that Opera had discontinued the previous year. Samsung bought the discontinued service, rebranded it, and added a native Samsung UI to fit the Galaxy ecosystem. The app could do things like compress images, help you manage background data on a per-app basis, reduce video data consumption, shrink music files, optimize webpages, block advertisement trackers in incognito mode, and encrypt your internet traffic on public Wi-Fi networks. Image via SammyGuru If you open the app now, you'd be greeted by a shutdown banner warning that all VPN, data saving, and privacy services stopped functioning on June 15, 2026. The creators failed to provide a reason for the shutdown, instead publishing a farewell note that read: "Thank you for being with us over the years. Your support and activity truly meant a lot to us and helped shape this app into what it became." This same message appears on the Google Play Store listing for the app as well. Max VPN is the latest service from Samsung to join the list of discontinued applications from the company. Just two months ago, the Korean tech giant announced that it is completely shutting down Samsung Messages, forcing millions of users to migrate to Google Messages by next month. The only devices that the shutdown won't affect are older smartphones running Android 11 or lower. Some of the features of Google Messages that Samsung hopes will entice users include AI-powered scam detection to block suspicious links, integrated Gemini AI tools to generate quick replies, custom chat bubbles, and universal RCS compatibility for sharing high-quality media with iOS users. The platform also offers seamless syncing across tablets and smartwatches. In addition to that, users gain access to message scheduling, smart classification, and automated category sorting.
