[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.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
    • ive always been fascinated by old software this is an old video player for windows from apple
