[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

Happened to me too, I had to delete all files in

C:\Documents and Settings\_USER_\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\config\imagecache

And then reapply the theme. It worked :)

What definition of "didn't work" are you guys seeing? All toolbar icons reverting to text-only? Deleting that folder doesn't seem to work as a magic fix on my machine :/

I can't seem to get my Firefox to change to it's Tango form. Anyway possible I can force it to do so? Or do I have to change the icon myself? If so, where is it located?

What do you mean? There are skins that can change the icons to Tango but it won't just turn Tango with the patcher. The patcher DOES turn the Firefox icon into a Tango one but that is just the app's icon. Do you mean the app icon or the icons in the browser itself?

The app icon. I couldn't change it :cry: .

Try the reloader.

I did, it says there are no icons to be reloaded.

Never mind, I've just formatted my notebook and will install everything back. I wanted to format it but at a later date but lately it's been giving me a few problems so I went ahead with it. Thank you though for your help.

any chance of getting these icons into the patch??

That is a folder from the Ubuntu Human theme. That'd require Vertigosity to create a whole new thing on his patcher. I personally don't care for the orange and gloss myself but it'd be a neat additon ;)

By the way, this is a completely stupid question, but the patcher works on Windows XP MCE 2005 right? I'm getting a new computer and it runs that version of Windows (they won't let me upgrade to Vista until January) and I'll want my Tango icons back.

  • Was Firefox installed when you first ran the installer? ATM, it's not keeping track of what options were selected, so if a file by the same name wasn't done when the "installer" module was run, it won't be touched by the reloader.
  • Just for trivia, I'm working on an "Iceweasel" icon. It's going in.
  • I'm not doing Human; at least not part of a Tangoid package, as it's not.
  • OOo 2.1 probably changes which files the document icons are in, and/or what order they're in. They've changed a few things, apparently... I'll look into it eventually, or whenever I reboot and see things scattered.
  • MCE2005 is no different from normal XP (... Home Edition, now?), except that it's got the MCE shell. The patcher even has Gina images for it. Hope you like purple!

I can't even remember! Anyway, it doesn't matter as I've finished installing everything after a reformat and it all looks good now so no worries ;) . Thank you though!

I have Home Edition now and have never used MCE so I have no idea what the heck differs in it from normal XP. Um...Who is Gina? Is she some kind of virtual stripper that dances on the desktop?!?! :D

I hate purple. Glad you put some in the patcher :p

Oh, and VManOfMana, that media player is a configured Foobar 2000. With a Tango app icon attached. I think.

lol w00t :D :D :D

Sorry to go off-topic, but what is the media player you are using?

Foobar 2000

Oh and vertigosity MCE = ehome.exe + XP Pro.

Most programs report my OS as XP Professional.

mmm... I love to stick my resources in MS Gina's tree every day. And sometimes I even don't wear protection!

Yeah, MS Gina is totally a virtual stripper... I know she "logs me in" every morning :rofl:

And that purple is Tango purple. So it's totally bad-ass, like Samuel L. Jedi:

Darn. I was hoping for the virtual stripper.

Anyway, the purple looks real good and I hate purple. You have, like, magic designing skillz or something, Vergy. I can't wait to see it in action :D

I'd heard, through pure hearsay, that MCE2004 and earlier were XP Pro + the MCE shell, but MCE2005-newer (there aren't any, are there?) was XP Home + MCE shell. Or something like that, that it was some weird in-between hybrid, eh, I don't know what I'm talking about :/

Yay, Tango Color Palette and radial gradients :p

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
