[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

is it difficult to put it as an add-on in the installer like for other apps, since lots of users seem ( :D ) to use Windows Live Messenger?
Not really, but I hate modifying stuff that I don't know the function of (which I can't totally, unless it's something I use). Additionally, if there are any problems, I also really hate having to say "Yeah, I don't have a clue, I didn't do the work there, I just popped it in."
Is there a larger (say, 128x128 or larger) PNG version of the Firefox icon that comes with the Tango patcher? I need one for my dock.
Actually, I think I pre-rendered that, but yeah, CC-by-SA source package.
any 2007 update version planned? :shiftyninja:
Not much of one, but there'll be one... eventually. At my usual snails pace of "when I'm not at work," "when I get around to it," and "when I'm not playing with ReactOS." Edited by vertigosity

Yeah, there was a PNG in the CC-by-SA Source package. Thanks!

One more question... Is there a SVG plugin for Photoshop?

Sadly, Photoshop doesn't even begin to support SVGs. It'll just give you a thingy message. You can use Illustrator if you want to stick with Adobe or if you're poor and morally just (HA!) like me (double HA!) you could just download the free an easy to use InkScape. It's what most Tango icons are made in according to Jimmac.

I think I'll give InkScape a try anyway.

InkScape is good. I just use Batik and a simple script to batch convert all SVGs.

Yeah, I found InkScape really easy to use and extremely reliable. It's a bit clunky on Windows as it was really built for Linux (at least in my opinion) but it works wonderfully on any platform and is freeeeeeee. Can't beat that ;)

I just noticed I have a little Vista dude next to my name. When did he show up?

Hi, what I am about to report is not an accuse in any way. It is just a plain and simple report, hoping you will resolve this someway.

I just run an anti-Gromozon (Gromozon is a rootkit infecting thousands of italian PCs these days) tool found here. I already knew I was not infected because one of the immediate effects of this rootkit is to block browsing access to some sites providing the anti-rootkit (sounds incredible, but it is real - hope some of you can read italian to confirm I'm telling the truth), and I could already browse all the blacklisted sites without any problem.

But I wanted to launch the tool anyway because, you know, we can never be sure these days. And here is what this tool discovered:

Removal tool loaded into memory

Gromozon rootkit component not detected - searching for other components

Scanning: C:\WINDOWS

Scanning: C:\Programmi\File comuni

Gromozon-Related Malicious Code Detected!

FileName: C:\WINDOWS\Super Turbo Tango Patcher\Tools\wfpdisable.exe

Removed!

Trojan.Gromozon Removed!

Now, I know Tango Patcher is provided as virus-free and that there is no vertigosity's responsability, but may I know what's happening?

Oh yes yes yes.

wfpdisable.exe is a program created by a known company that hires convicted hackers. wfpdisable.exe disabled WFP (Windows File Protection) and allows vertigosity to do his replace-a-thon.

wfpdisable.exe could easily be used for bad (i.e. replacing explorer.exe with a virussed version) but in this case it is not. (replaces explorer.exe with a tangofied version)

^ Yep. What he said, with the minor addendum that @Stake isn't around any longer (they got bought out by Symantec, and all their goodies disappeared, as with everyone else Symantec has absorbed).

It's not even really needed anymore, but it is useful for suppressing warnings for comctl32.dll, and letting me do ntoskrnl.exe immediately, so the boot screen doesn't take an extra boot to show up. I don't have access to the source code handy ATM, but IIRC, if you de-select those two options, it won't be copied or run (if you're paranoid about that sort of thing.)

Have y'all seen this?

I'm not sure what to think. They're awesome yet glossy. Can icons be glossy AND awesome? I mean, we've had SO much gloss coming in lately. Interesting take to Tango, that is for sure.

I agree, I`m not sure - not realy Tangoish :unsure:

Well, they appear to be Tango icons but highly glossed up and without some of the guidelines that makes Tango icons...Tango. I figured I'd share since it IS apparently Tango (that is what Jimmac is calling it) and some may find it interesting. I could see them being used on a Mac or even on Vista since everything seems to be glossed to the max these days. They don't have that slightly cartoonish look to them as the regular Vista icons do.

On another note, why is it so friggin hard to skin Trillian? I mean, does Cerulean Studios find it amusing to make their code all jumbly and confusing and render images all screwy?! GRRR! Okay, rant done!

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal by Sayan Sen SSDs and GPUs are incredibly hard to get nowadays due to high pricing. Discounts are quite rare which is why we report on them as soon as we spot a good deal. For example AMD's new 9070 GRE was finally up for sale at a very good price of just $500 thanks to a special coupon. Sadly that deal is gone but if you happen to be looking for a 4TB NVMe SSD and can spend around $400 there is a really good offer on sale that you should not miss out on as TeamGroup's 4TB G50 model is on sale for that that price which means you are only paying $100 per TB, a very good deal in the current market (purchase link under the specs table down below). The TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 drive and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. Since this is a 4TB drive you can use it for a gaming library to take advantage of things like DirectStorage. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. Get it at the link below: Team Group T-FORCE G50 4TB Internal SSD (TM8FFE004T0C129): $449.99 + $50 off w/ promo code SSF69668, limited offer => $39.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.
