[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

one question, wont i get problems with restoring my original windows files when i install it over the previous version of the patcher without uninstalling the older version first?
Nyet, that was the whole point of using XPero's installer bits.

any shots of the gnome icons?

I believe it is included in this. To vertigosity, great release!

Great release Vertigosity.

Superdoode, i'm having some problems with your ff skin (v0.8): every menu background is black and looks "shrinked". lovely skin nonetheless :p

I'm stupid. I tried adding menu icons and giving it Linux support but something went wrong somewhere (I think it was the code for the menu icons) and the themes borked on Windows. I removed the icons in the menus in hopes the black colors would go away but I can't test it for myself because my Windows partition is broken. I'm on linux for now. Like I said, I'm stupid :p

I have a different thread for this matter, though, so it doesn't clog up this topic and take away from the exciting November release of the patcher :p

markoajda:

The icon package is available here

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/desktop/2.1...2.16.0.1.tar.gz

It includes png files of size 16x16 thru to 48x48, but also .svgs of the icons

vertigosity, bobp, or anyone:

How do you convert .svg into .ico files properly? I mean, so they include both the small 16x16 icon and the larger icon too?

agt :

1) Create the native 48x48 PNG from the SVG (say edit-clear.svg to a 48x48 edit-clear.png) by using Inkscape or vertigosity's amazing shell integrations.

2) Get a hold of the 32x32, 22x22, and 16x16 PNGs from the Tango site. (http://tango.freedesktop.org/static/cvs/tango-icon-theme/32x32/actions/edit-clear.png)

(http://tango.freedesktop.org/static/cvs/tango-icon-theme/22x22/actions/edit-clear.png)

(http://tango.freedesktop.org/static/cvs/tango-icon-theme/16x16/actions/edit-clear.png)

3) Resize the 22x22 icon to 24x24, but do *not* resize the pixels or anything of the like. Just enlarge the size of the canvas.

4) Stuff all the icons together using @icon sushi.

And that's all it takes.

Oh yeah... I might have forgotten to mention, but I've got source packages now, with pre-rendered 128x128 and proper 32x32 for stuff that didn't have it but I used in the patcher. Git2 right now is still getting a lot of CVS checkins, so my source package / the patcher uses stuff that's a bit ahead of the current stable release.

This icon isn't very suitable for mp3s. Maybe you can change that in the next release for a more suitable?

I agree, and I'll think about it / watch for it. It might be a holdover from base Tango, which used to use a movie reel for categories/applications-multimedia icon, but swapped up the "movie reel" and the

"director's board" they'd been using as the generic video icon. I guess I'll watch to see if they do anything, otherwise I have to go renegade, since I agree with you (Jimmac might as well, who knows!). But I'm using a more generic "multimedia" icon for WMP, which uses the same icon for both audio and video, which is why you see that there.

I've a problem with help and support center, it doesnt run but without any error, also wmp11. Windows XP SP2.
Mmmh... sure it couldn't be anything else / does the problem still occur with the pack uninstalled? I haven't dipped too far into modifying that, and it still runs on all the systems I'd thought to try it on. If nothing else, I'd say to check your event log, but I can't think of any specific things to look for; just poke around, and maybe check the Services console to make sure the Help and Support Center service is running.

    • I think he means you haven't reviewed previous UFC games. Of course it doesn't matter... Every time you just report on something that involves the President even if just simply what happened you guys usually get accused of being anti-Trump. We live in fun times.
    • So how did you solve the problem? Disabling Secure Boot isn’t a solution.
    • Another devilish issue surrounding these certificates is what can happen with old, unsuspecting PCs that nevertheless have Secure Boot enabled. In my case, it was a Dell with a 3rd-gen Core chip (so about 13 years old). As of the last few weeks, it was suddenly BSOD'g within about 5 minutes of booting. Turns out it was because of MS's "Secure-Boot-Update" scheduled task, which is scheduled to run 5 minutes after login. It's explained in gory detail here (this is not my post, but it was where I found the answer), but the short version is that this legacy system would need fairly elaborate, manual certificate intervention since MS's automatic cert update method cannot work. How to do that is linked late in the thread. https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...od-caused-by-scheduled-task Secure Boot wasn't at all important for this particular PC, so I disabled it to be done with the problem.
    • Winhance 26.06.12 by Razvan Serea Winhance is an open-source Windows enhancement utility designed to help users debloat, optimize, and customize Windows 10 and 11. It provides a user-friendly interface for removing unwanted apps, legacy components, and optional features safely, giving you more control over your system. With Winhance, you can improve performance, reduce clutter, and enhance privacy without the need for a clean install. Beyond basic debloating, Winhance offers extensive optimization tools. Users can tweak power plans, adjust gaming and performance settings, control notifications, and manage Windows Update behavior. Privacy-focused settings allow you to limit telemetry and data collection, while system customization options let you personalize the taskbar, Start menu, Explorer, and Windows themes. Winhance also supports installing or removing software efficiently, including external apps via WinGet integration, streamlining both new setups and daily maintenance. New AI privacy groups have been added for Windows AI, Microsoft Edge AI, and Microsoft Office AI, giving users clearer control over AI-related telemetry and feature usage. In addition, new settings in Gaming & Performance introduce AI taskbar pin toggles, options to remove AI apps, and controls for AI services and scheduled tasks, allowing users to better manage how AI components run in the background and appear in the system. For advanced users and IT professionals, Winhance integrates WIMUtil, a tool for creating custom Windows installation ISOs with automated configuration. You can generate autounattend.xml files, inject drivers, and apply your chosen Winhance settings automatically during installation. Most changes are non-destructive and reversible, with clear explanations in the GUI. Whether you’re optimizing a single PC or managing multiple systems, Winhance delivers a faster, cleaner, and highly personalized Windows experience. The Winhance.Installer.exe includes both Installable and Portable versions during setup. Winhance supports both Windows 10 and Windows 11 64-bit versions.

Winhance 26.06.12 changelog: Features Builder Mode — build a Winhance config file or autounattend.xml without changing anything on the PC you're sitting at. Flip the new mode switcher to Builder, set everything the way you want it, and save the result as a Winhance config or an autounattend file ready for deployment on other machines. Sponsors & Supporters page — the exit donation dialog is gone. In its place, an in-app page (heart icon or the More menu) recognizes the businesses and individual supporters who keep Winhance free. It works offline and is fully localized. Change History — Winhance now keeps a receipt of everything it does. ChangeHistory.txt records every setting change (before and after values) and every app install or removal, with clear headers for config imports and bulk actions. Open it from the More menu. Hebrew language support — Winhance is now available in 29 languages. New Explorer customizations: desktop icon visibility toggles, This PC folder visibility, an icon cache size setting, and automatic thumbnail cache cleanup. New "All apps view" setting for the redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, and the Windows 11 system tray icons setting is now a dropdown with more control. App-local UI zoom — press Ctrl +/-/0 or use Ctrl+MouseWheel to scale the whole app, just like a browser. New External Apps: EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Rockstar Games Launcher, PowerShell, and Helium Browser. Bug Fixes Layouts no longer clip when the Windows text size slider is set above 100%. Accessibility: Narrator now announces setting names on toggles and dropdowns, previously unlabeled buttons are labeled, and progress updates are announced. Silent updates now respect your custom install location instead of reverting to the default. Cancel in Review Mode no longer clears your app selections. OneNote is now detected correctly for Win32 Click-to-Run installs. Clean Start Menu applies more reliably by also writing the group policy path. WinGet errors are no longer silent — error details now show in the terminal output. Fixed a startup crash on older Windows builds caused by a .NET runtime regression. Config import now converts power setting values correctly and no longer re-applies an already-active power plan. Improvements App icons load noticeably faster and cover almost everything now, including legacy capabilities and optional features — they come from a dedicated, checksum-validated icon repository and are fetched in parallel. Software & Apps polish: per-icon tooltips, extra table columns, an app sort dropdown, relocated search, and a cleaner compact view. A warning now appears when the Connected Devices Platform Service is set to Manual or Disabled, since some Windows features depend on it.
