[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

Does anyone have an icon that I can use for my TV Card program? I mean the one for watching the TV.
I think SUSE's YAST2 set includes a TV icon. It's not scaled to all the necessary sizes though - if I've got a few minutes, I'll look into scaling up a proper Windows icon for it.
hi everyone .. i'm sorry for the question but.. i already installed the tango patcher, all the icons are displayed correctly but i can not replace them..

In fact i dont know how to do it.. :whistle: In the Tango Patcher website it's indicated that we most replace icons directly from the resources folder then run RELOADER

The resources themselves need to be in the Desktop\Override folder (but in a structure analagous to what they'd be in the patcher's Resources folder), and the reloader won't process them (I don't have a simple way of tracking what files would need to be reloaded for a specific resource update, and I'd need to make another category of reload anyways to do it.) - use the installer.

Hey a PNG would be fine too, I can scale it myself.

As Thunderbird 2.0 is out now.......somebody is willing to update or can provide a Tango-theme for it?

Well, I'm about 75% done with one. I have it saved on some Gmail account. Anyway, I keep meaning to get it done but a bunch of stuff keeps happening away from the computer (a.k.a Life) and I havn't had the chance to sit down and focus on the skin. Um...I'll try and get back into it if possible. No promises. I'll keep a look out for a link to any skins that might pop up in the meantime.

seeing as vertigosity wont be making a tango patch for vista...anybody want to take on the challenge? i want the tango look in vista...but i don't even know where to start >.<
I've got an installation image, and was planning on doing a full Vista evaluation with attempts to break the new Windows Resource Protection, but the current nVidia drivers don't bother ramping my GPU's fan speed down, so I just cut it short and went back to XP. By this summer, I'll have more time to play with it, and nVidia will hopefully have gotten their Vista driver act together.

Sweet! can't wait...in the mean time i might have to go back to xp

Wow! Vinyl Record. Old skool. I still have about 50 albums from the 50's and 60's (plus my awesome Sesame Street record) and play them constantly on my phonograph. :blush:

Vert, what exactly has changed in the icon structure in Vista. I know Vista still uses shell32 and any other Explorer database with images. I guess you'd have to work with the new vectoring and auto resizing and all. Oh, my nVidia acts just fine. You probably have a better card than mine though. I will wait patiently for any news on this :D

I don't know about better, but definitely rarer - I'm one of the few people silly enough to have bought an AGP 7800GS. Vista doesn't have Vector icons at all - I want to say that was one of the many things dropped when they reset the codebase. IIRC, it has high-res bitmaps, with PNG compression but still stored in ICO wrappers, and it's got a snazzy DirectX routinue to scale them moderately cleanly. That's not a problem - the latest version of @iconsushi handles it, and reshack will process them (it'll have an error trying to display Vista ICOs, but it can import and export them fine). But SFP and WinSXS have been merged together, and the sorts of things that worked to break or work around them in XP have been broken/changed/blocked off (after all, they could be used to replace system files). I'm tempted to say the easiest thing will be to make a PE image and run it in that, or boot in safe mode :wacko: - but enough people are replacing their themeui.dll and themesvcs.dll files that I at least have an idea of how to brute-force it. I'll start playing with it in a VM after final exams, it'll be a fun little challenge :)

For those of you that use Limewire, here's a replacement icon for it. And to tehmemories, I've attached the record icon without a shadow.

@markoajda: I've already got a deviantArt account. Use it mainly for my program releases (laushung.deviantart.com) but I'll make an icon pack for all of the ones I've done so far and place it on there.

    • 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.
