Is there a site somewhere that keeps up with Tango custom icons? And by that I mean Tangoized icons for programs such as, ventrilo, winamp, Gom Player, VLC, World Of Warcraft, etc?

Main icon for WoW and other game look here. But for WoW only 48x48.

Sorry for my english :)

After a little break I want to install Tango again, does the Tango-Patcher

don`t have problem with the KB925902-Problem (MS-Update), like other

Shellpacks ?

How big is the patched shell32.dll ?

Thanks in advance, thanks for outstanding Tango-Pack

What sort of problems? I haven't noticed anything gone awry since this month's Patch Tuesday...

My shell32.dll (GIT2) weighs in at 11.2MB.

Have a look here for a description of the problem:

http://www.crystalxp.net/news/en170-BricoP...es-Crashes.html

Yeah, I suspect it's because the BricoPacked shell32s are X amount larger than the normal shell32 (CrystalXP's is ~28MB. Normal XP is ~8MB. STTP is 11MB, not too much bigger.) I seem to remember natively-Eastern/Asian versions of Windows having trouble with this a loooong time ago, but I can't remember proper search terms to come up with a source for that claim.

Hey vert, are you even considering making a STTP for Vista?
Never say never, but no, not ever :p

I don't really have full driver support (the fan on my 7800GS runs at full throttle all the time, which I think the Red Cross or the UN classifies as prisoner abuse), and I have better things to spend my money on - Vista doesn't do anything for me that XP doesn't except Aero, and that's not enough to make me want it enough to spend money on it, and relearn all my old habits. Plus, at least as long as this semester's on, I don't have the energy to go to work, school, and fiddle with icons like I was when I was unemployed and out of school.

If someone were to run over and scream "HEY SOOPERDOODE! Do you think Tango Icons would look good on Vista?!?!?11one1?" I'd say "Why, no strange person on some kind of brain-damaing substance. I think Tango icons and the current Aero interface would be a bit strange together. I don't know though. I've never seen it."

:D

I am actually considering going back to XP strictly for the Tango icons. It's been a miserable time without them. Verts, you were once unemployed?! You'd think with your skillz and unmatched genius that places like NASA, Microsoft, and the World Federation of Panda Bears would be begging at your feet for you to use your incredible talent to make them lots of money. I swear I'm not kissing your ass here. Heh.

Seriously though, were you going to update the patcher with support for OpenOffice? I know it's technically in there already but it doesn't work which you know already.

Oh, and last thing I swear! Can someone make a Foobar and/or Trillian icon? It'd be very nice to have them and from what I've seen, there have been some friggin awesome Tango icons made already.

Wow. Simply...wow. I have been waiting for someone to make a Trilly Tango icon forever. I'd do it myself but I had bad experiences with the Tango icons I made. I tried that WMP one and it was so bad. good thing Vert made that awesome one. Anyway, Sranshaft, you captured the entire "Two-Boobs" Trillian thing perfectly! Now to make the Idle, Offline, Connecting, and Away icons :p

I thought we were going to make a Wiki. Like "Tango on Windows" Wiki. It could have an entry there with all the icons that need to be made. I bet someone could easily whip up a Photoshop CS3 icon. All it'd take is the Tango blue gradient with 'Ps' on it ;)

Jimmac has already denounced those, so it's gotta be something other than stock.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      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.
