[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

Rather than make new icons, I'll just change the text to seem less willing take requests. I'm an ass like that :p (I do still have some completely un-finished concepts that I'm playing with for some of that. Cute little bunny rabbit for copying, and a U-haul/large van for moving. I think those metaphors are universally recognizable enough, eh?)

Vertigosity, your animated avis (move to, copy to) rocks ... how do you create the animations ? I need some animations for an old Mac-Shellpack. Any programs or tutorials can help me : ) Keep up the good work !
The way I've always done it is to make seperated-layer PNGs for all the different "Z-axis" layers of the animation, and then use a batch script to get ImageMagick to assemble it all against the animated bits. (more recently, I also started using a batch script to animate the flying bits, since it's so simple.). At that point, I use Jasc Animation Shop to assemble it all and encode it as AVIs.

A little mix up. I'm not 100% sure whether this is because of the Tango patcher. But I can't think of another cause for this.

Have look:

It looks like the trusted and restricted sites icons have swapped places :D

It was like this with the previous Tango patcher as well on IE7 btw.

I'm using the latest Tango Patcher.

I remember this too - with October-Update I must change

settings in IE and I was thinking about the icons too and

what I should do - trust the icon or trust the text - lol :D

I have a question:

Are there any problems with the restore of the old icons when I uninstall the patcher?

No, it backups your icons and when you uninstall it your icons the same like before ...

But there`s no reason to uninstall it :geek: Tango-Mania :geek:

Ok, thanks...

Where can I find more pics of the pack? (Tango icon theme, Tangerine icon theme, Gnome-Icon-Theme2 and NLD10's Industrial-Icon-Theme)

The registry-files and the registry.exe can be customized too? Maybe we can change the bmps too ?
The regedit stuff has to be in 16 colors, using the Windows palette. It can be done, but it won't be particularly pretty. And yeah, I might drop those BMPs on my todo list.

It's intentional - trusted sites bypass all of IE's attempts at security restriction, whereas restricted sites are locked down tight (at least, as tight as IE can).

Check the DA page or tango.benpbrown.com; there are some shots there. I don't get involved with making jazillions of screenshots, because it's just too much work to keep up to date.

Here's some screenshots of the SLED theme, I may update the gallery from time to time

don't wanna sound like a newb, I have read the website and 105 pages is too long, but what if I want to change icon sets?

Do i have to run the installer and select a different theme then reboot?

I'm sorry dude, but that simply doesn't make any sense to me :D

Here's my reasoning:

Trusted sites bypass all of IE's security restrictions because IE gives them the go-ahead>> green icon "go"

Restricted sites are locked down>> red icon "stop"

Just think about it for a minute.

Anyway, it's no reason for me to get rid of the Tango Patcher, because I :wub: it

Do i have to run the installer and select a different theme then reboot?

You mean change from Tango - Tangorine or from Gnome - Industrial ?

What I do is uninstall the patcher, no problem, take a minute to update

windows and install the other iconset ...

You should uninstall it and restore the xp icons before you do that if you eveer want the xp icons back, simply uninstall it and when you install it choose a different icon set.

That was for the old days with the batch scripts. Really, there's no difference between reinstalling with a different iconset with the same version you have, and using a newer version of the patcher to "upgrade." It keeps proper backups either way.

Cheers for the new version! :)

However when installing it with a silent switch /S during Windows Setup, after the first boot of the OS I get this screen:

I see everything is Tango but this 1 one (don't know which exactly) requires to restart.

Don't know if it's intended to be this way, after restarting everything is OK (no more popup messages).

This small error is irrelevant for most of the users, but maybe it could be resolved?

Tried them... No good. Lotsa icons missing, screwy menu sizes...

Sooperdoode's are much better. :yes:

Awww, shucks. You're too kind :blush:

Hmm... Tango for Vista.

Now that's an idea :laugh:

I think BobP was testing this out and said it was possible and easier to patch on Vista. I'm not sure though....My memory sucks. Ask him :p

Unless you can reproduce it, so you can tell me which file was reloaded on the first boot after installation, it's not anything I can even look into. Maybe some component wanted to reinstall itself, and the reloader was just doing its job?

Not from me!

    • 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 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.
