vertigosity used to maintain an application skin database (http://vertigosity.benpbrown.com/?page=apps) including icons, but... "Removed items not unique to this site; I don't have the time to maintain an "application skin database," let alone do it well."

If someone can suggest an easy-to-use CMS for fulfilling this purpose (application skin + icon database + instructions for patching), then I'd be happy to set one up. (i.e. tango.benpbrown.com/apps or equivalent)

Hi,

I'm having problems with patching Openoffice. This occurred both in case of Ooo 2.1 and 2.2.

It's installed in D:\Program Files\Openoffice.org. Maybe the non-default path is the reason for the problem?

Any ideas as to how to perform the icon patching?

it's not with your nonstandard path... it's broken. I didn't notice it because I didn't test it on a clean install in a VM, and I was running modded files installed by an intermediate build where things did work (I had it hard-coded it to the registry path for 2.1 for a bit), but yeah, it's broken, it's not the User's fault, and I'll try to find an excuse to put out a quickie update for April.

In PNG, ICO SVG perhaps?

For myself, PNGs and ICOs would be a definite. I've yet to crack open InkScape (being an old man stuck in my ways :p) but once I finally take the plunge, I'll be able to include SVGs as well.

Thanks a lot

by the way,

Anybody feeling like making an icon for the opensource MultiIM Miranda ?

Here's a quick one for Miranda in all of its Tango glory. :) The 32x32 pixel icon and down don't include the speech balloon. I felt it crowded the icon too much.

Even though I don't really have the right to talk Tango anymore, I love the icons I'm seeing and add my vote (for what it is worth) to the Wiki idea.

Also, is everyone aware that the entire GTK+ Tango set has been redone? The Tango Friday people got it all done in one night. They look interesting. A little more shine and polish and while I like some of the older icons better, these are nice as well. I guess now I have a reason for updating my Firefox skins. Anywho, I can't seem to find the new icons in the CVS or anywhere else. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough.

no plans for tango-vista?
I've got no plans to buy a copy of Vista, or even to download it and slmgr the heck out of it.

They look neat, but I'm not entirely sure how I'd spin a subskin out of it. It's pretty likely that bits and pieces of them will show up here and there, though. Check [gnome-icon-theme-extras] for source (you'll have to backtrack to revision 83, they got deleted after being packaged up and sent off to the GTK people) - actually, check it out anyways, they've got a few mobile devices and gaming console related things up there as well, I'm sure somebody here would be interested. The Real Tango People have been doing a good job of tweaking and refining their style to get better consistency, realism, scalability, and of course, to make me feel totally inadequate every time I open Inkscape:pp

      Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
