[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

may I suggest a bit other description instead of one simple letter:

ISO - instead of [ i ] put a tango cd image

and for rest (or all of them) put small brown (more brownish than box color) text "rar"/"zip"/... on the front side of the box

Not having an "icon for Acrobat itself" is intentional, at least on my part - I've got sort of a hunch, or maybe a gut instinct, or maybe I read it somewhere (I honestly can't remember which, at the moment.) that applications whose sole purpose is to handle one type of file should use the icon for that type of file.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Acrobat's application icon differs from the icon used to identify PDF files... the icon I provided is meant to replace Acrobat's application icon, not the PDF document icon. Same goes for RealPlayer, I guess.

I dunno. If I'm crazy and I shouldn't have wasted my time on those, then my apologies to the community. Just trying to cover everything. :cry:

I like them...Have you thought about making an Adobe Photoshop Tango icon? You seem to be good at Adobe app icons heh. I don't use either Acrobat or Realplayer but great job on both of them!!

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.

Do the instructions for the "existing package" as it is so named actually work? A few people reported them not being accurate or usuable, but I couldn't be arsed to get a shareware copy of the program to verify/correct one way or the other, and pretty much forgot about it.
Any way I could get a Tango icon for this? (It's in the Control Panel, in case you're wondering)
There's an icon in Tango Art-Libre that's just waiting for that, I think. You're completely on your own in figuring out what file and resource ID it is (unless, of course, you buy me a tablet PC :p). Take a look at your .CPLs in system32, and possibly light up the Shell Object Editor if it's not located in one of them. Edited by vertigosity

I've been asked to make a Black Tango Icon theme (heh, yeah right) or at least make a Firefox theme with modified 'black' Tango icons. Now, my question is if this is allowed by the Tango guidelines. The Tango icons can't be modified can they?

I wouldn't mind doing the theme but I didn't know if it'd even be right tweaking all the icons and making them black :p

"Black" ?! Or dark grey like Gnome ?

I know that I have the right to modify, distribute, and basically do anything I'd like "legally" under the license but I didn't know if the Tango Guidelines talk against the modification of the icons that could possibly take away from the universal and easy to understand look.

Yes, Lokheed has talent! Now he's on a Mac so hopefully he can make those look great. Oh, and the request was for a black Tango icon theme for Firefox. Not that I have any talent in icon making :p

bvc has already made a few alternative colour versions like the green mod in this pic

murrinastyleks7.th.jpg

from http://gnomethemes.org/?p=52

Theres also pink, purple, and a monochrome (black..ish) version there. I reckon the green folders look sweet, would love them on XP :whistle:

Hmmm, okay well that settles it. I still don't know if I'll do a black tango Firefox theme because I'm lazy and don't want to butcher anything but we'll see. Thanks!

I'm voting that you buy him a tablet PC. :woot:

Nah, I'm under the impression it's more like, "now he's on a Mac, so he's out of the game." A de-saturated and "darker" Tango icon theme probably wouldn't be that hard to do at least the icon parts of; I'm just a bit leery of making another fork of the alphabmps right now; I've already got 4 (I've been working on porting Industrial and Gnome-icon-theme2).

The guidelines actually explicitly encourage this sort of thing (Tangerine and SLED10 Industrial, anyone?), I'm sure. They just like to make sure that you use the same palette, some of the same shapes and metaphors, and some of the same visual cues, so that you won't sit down and think "Wow, I don't know what any of these things do! And wow, they really don't fit in with one another, what a mismatched hodgepodge! OMG look at the Windows 95 icons in the font dialog!"

I'm voting that you buy him a tablet PC. w00t.gif
Heck, if there are any Tablet PCs with current-gen mid-range graphics and a Core (2) Duo, it could replace my desktop. Too bad such a beast would only come with Intel Integrated, and would still cost $2500 :p Edited by vertigosity

Holy Cow :doctor:

Vertigosity, how about a green-grey version shellpatcher (in the future) :woot:

This is so sexy, as sexy as tangorine and tango :blush:

I think it would be in our best interest to completely finish THIS pack first, before moving onto other things. So yes, the future.

I actually do like the green folders-It's very earthy :p

Okay, here's what I found for the tablet PC icon... I don't know what to do from here :blush:

Mine was only $1500-ish (see specs in sig :D )

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
