[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

is there any way to change the recycle bin color to blue by anychance?

When some1 send you the icon with the other colour, or you

know where to find `em, you can reshack the shell32.dll and

use all other recycle bins ...

(Tune-Up-Utilities or Iconpackager does it too)

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 dont know what's the problem. Firts i saw wmp11 didnt run anymore (with a new reinstall nothing too), then help and support center and a few windows's apps too. If i uninstall shell patcher the problem persists.

I've tried to restore help & support center but it doesnt fix my problem. The services are running too.

Here's a curious thing, windows services (extended view). Standard view is ok:

My advice: Choose a more tasteful nick next time, you 'Resident One Post Wonder'...

Apologies, maybe you misunderstood. It is a reference to the Reichstag Fire in 1933, where historians suggest that the Nazis burned their own parliment building (the Reichstag) and blamed it on their enemies.

I believe that 9/11 was the same 'false-flag' style operation as the Reichstag Fire was. That is all my nick refers to...

Any advice please?

Maybe Vertigosity can fix this for next updates, I think the problem

is that both apps are older versions (or lite-versions) ...

You can change filetypes with folderoptions:

"Iconpackager" or "Tuneup Utilities" can change icons too: Here

By the way, what VS do you use ? Strange colours ?

Can you post 128x128 icons somewhere? :) (If you can) many thanks.
Check that "source material stuff" link in the first post.

For just the recycle bin on the Desktop, there's a control panel built into XP. Display/Desktop properties > Desktop > Customize Desktop. Alternatively, you could grab the GPL source package from the homepage, and take a few minutes to figure out the on-install resource-overriding bits. I put them in there for just this sort of thing.
Hi.... I installed the latest release, but some of the icons were not changed. These are a few that I noticed... I am using Acrobat Reader 5 and Windows Media Player 6.4 on an nLited Windows XP. Any advice please?
Yeah, I don't have the patcher modifying those. At least not yet. I'll think about it, although I'd have to download a copy of Acrobat 5, which isn't really likely for me. The file-type dialog will let you change them.

(@breakfastclub: that's the normal Windows 2000 Standard, just downsampled to 256 colors without dithering)

Yep, that is just the normal Classic look but it is saved as a GIF in 256 colors so it looks a bit off.

Acrobat 5 you can get here: www.oldversion.com - It is quite faster and less bloated than the latest versions.

Thanks Breakfastclub for the help about how to change the icons, I'll look into it. But can you tell me which file the Tango Acrobat icons and Media icons are stored in? Which DLL file, I mean...

But can you tell me which file the Tango Acrobat icons and Media icons are stored in? Which DLL file, I mean...

"C:\WINDOWS\Super Turbo Tango Patcher\Resources\res_named"

Here are stored the Tango-Icons ... did you mean this ?

Acrobat here:

"C:\WINDOWS\Super Turbo Tango Patcher\Resources\res_unofficial\lokheed"

and other here:

"C:\WINDOWS\Super Turbo Tango Patcher\Resources\res_unofficial"

can anyone help me to build an exe. file for drive-meter icons.. they should be in blue ! .. please !!!
Can you be a bit more specific and/or descriptive of what kind of help you need, or what you want this executable to do?

Hi...

Thanks for your help...

I found the Adobe icons where you mentioned...

and a generic audio icons and video icon in "Super Turbo Tango Patcher\Resources\res_named\mimetypes"

So I can try and change them now...

One pointer to Vertigosity: I found some more icons that are not patched... please see this screenshot:

sorry about that . I should include attachments to explain. The bars under the icons are what I want, it is similar to vista , showing that how much capacity I have used and left. Someone built these with a tagnerine color, but I want these in Tango style (blue )... and I would like it to be an exe file so that I could apply to it directly.... Thanks

tcm released a tango version of my tangerine icons, i believe the following download link should work for tcm's tango ones.

if you already have the tangerine ones installed, just copy/paste the tango icons over the tangerine ones, then re-run the .exe to re-apply the new icons.

Wow, Industrial is extreme sexy :happy: Thanks Vertigosity !

But the green arrows (bmp`s in shell32 and comctl32) could be more industial like ;)

yeah, i totaly agree, its somewhat to green.

lets hope Vertigosity got this planned as a Xmas gift for the December release :)

    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
