[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

That K-Meleon skin looks nifty :)

That's an old version of the patcher, rado354
Yep - which is why I didn't mention it. What does it take to make that kind of wrapped installer? If it's something simple, using free software, I could probably spin it up with the next release.

Just compiling a few things:

a)Scheduled tasks

b)Wireless Network Setup Wizard

Network Connections\Common Tasks\See Also\Network Troubleshooter

Network Connections\Common Tasks\Create a new connection

Network Connections\Common Tasks\setup a home or small office network

Here it is:

>> Tango Patcher November 2006 << if you want to integrate it into your Windows installation CD (and our guide HowTo Do It ) :yes:

Thanks to vertigosity!

Whee! Still, me being the silly perfectionist I am, two things:
  • You might want to specify that it'll only work on 32-bit XP/2003.
  • Is there any way of passing the patcher switches through the cab-hotfix wrapper, or would you have to spin a wrapper up for each switch (IE, to integrate as Tango vs. Tangerine vs. Industrial vs. Gnome)

Edit: (ignore anything I say about the patcher not supporting Vista - as you say, vLite doesn't support hotfix/addon integration (at least not yet) so the fact that the patcher doesn't work on Vista is kinda moot.)

WOW!

MANY thanks to you, will integrate it in my newest installation point!

"It is designed to work on all language versions and 32-bit editions of Windows XP and Server 2003." - I think it's ok now ;)

As you said it's not possible to integrate this on Vista (yet).

You will need 4 separate addons to do this. As soon as someone request them, I will add them :)

A really fantastic job, vertigosity!

Oh no! You posted the delete link to the file instead of the download link :(

And yes please, do post the resources :) I'd like to make a Nano theme. :D

Er..how possible is it to tango-ify Media Center? It's so shiny and Royale looking and clashes with my Ultra Tango setup. I've seen some customized MC setups so I wasn't sure if there was some kind of magic program that can let you customize or if you have to hack the entire image source. Thanks :D

ipod looks cool, any plans on NANO? any short to tutorial on how-to-hack?!

As a thank you for 6 months of good behaviour, your warning level has been reduced. Your new warning level is 40%

makes me horny tho!

From out of nowhere, I actually spin up a "weekly test build." If you don't remember me saying anything about that, take a peek at the first post; I've got a plan. Scary, huh?

7.02 Unstable (2007/02/14)

Changes from November 2006:

  • Tweaks to GIT2: Fixed purple background in display properties and filename of help-browser.ico
  • Support for OpenOffice 2.1, and Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs
  • Improved dithering on the bootscreen
  • Begun dropping 24x24 icons not used in the XP start menu (Saves between 1-10MB of RAM, only completed in Base Tango ATM)
  • Probably a few other things I've forgotten changing.
  • Patcher code mostly unchanged from November '06.

Use this version if you enjoy life on the bleeding edge, and want to run the same version I do. This release is untested (beyond being installed on and not destroying my personal machine), undocumented, and unsupported. Developer packages have not been updated yet; if you need something specific, ask. Use entirely at your own risk (more so than usual). Additionally, I hope to update this semi-frequently, so I don't recommend using it in a collection or wrapper, unless you really want to.

    • 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 by Razvan Serea Winhance is an open-source Windows enhancement utility designed to help users debloat, optimize, and customize Windows 10 and 11. It provides a user-friendly interface for removing unwanted apps, legacy components, and optional features safely, giving you more control over your system. With Winhance, you can improve performance, reduce clutter, and enhance privacy without the need for a clean install. Beyond basic debloating, Winhance offers extensive optimization tools. Users can tweak power plans, adjust gaming and performance settings, control notifications, and manage Windows Update behavior. Privacy-focused settings allow you to limit telemetry and data collection, while system customization options let you personalize the taskbar, Start menu, Explorer, and Windows themes.

Most changes are non-destructive and reversible, with clear explanations in the GUI. Whether you’re optimizing a single PC or managing multiple systems, Winhance delivers a faster, cleaner, and highly personalized Windows experience.

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.
