Er...not to get anyones hopes up but I'm planning on making an Industrial Firefox Skin. Eventually. I personally have never used the Industrial icon set but I like the screenshots and it seems popular. I'll be working on the skin starting today and get it up as soon as I have time.

Did I say how cool I think this patch is? Even though I don't use Windows anymore, I still am loyal to the patch. It's weird I know but whatever :p

Great news, SooperDoode :woot: SD-FF-Skins rocks ;)

Heh, hush. You flatter me with your generous compliments. It's ridiculous :p :blush:

Does the Industrial icon set inherit the Tango icons by default? I mean, does it have empty spots where Tango fills in like in the Tangerine set?

Thanks for the screenies! We should totally start a "Tango Desktops" thread :D

Probably not; Industrial only has folder icons, it inherits a lot more from base Tango than Tangerine, and grey buttons would probably be a bad colour choice - too hard to tell if the button is inactive or not.
When could we be expecting a Tango/rine/etc Shedko Badges theme? I looked at the "Emblems" section on the Tango Icon Gallery, but it isn't complete, so I can't make my own.
I haven't gotten around to it; this is and will be another month where I'm busy with other stuff.

Exactly what I needed to know. So if the Folder icons are the only "Industrial" icons that get changed and everything else inherits Tango than there really is no need for me to make a separate Firefox skin. I'll just add the Industrial folders to where they need to be, put them in a replace folder in the zip file with instructions and go play video games :)

Thanks, Vergy ;)

Hey, be more polite to your ff-groupies ! :laugh:

But the green arrows don`t suit to indsutrial, the blue gnome-arrows would fit much more ...

Can some1 with the gnome-setup post the shell32-toolbar-bmps and the comctl32-bmps here ?

Is there a way for my uTorrent icon to also change? I've already changed my uTorrent interface but the icon still remains the same.

If it's a shortcut that you have got pinned, you can change the icon used in she shortcut's properties. just make it point to the tango-ized utorrent icon

Thank you! But only half the problem is solved. Although the shortcut icon in the all programs menu has changed, the one that I pinned on the start menu hasn't, even when I removed and changed it again.

Edit: Never mind: I manage to get it working again after closing and opening the program. Thank you for your help :D !

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
