well, i like the icons (contact list) in the last 2 screenshots but i'm not very please with them either....dont know why i tend to like the tango icons in the first screenshot btw in thaat first sc there was a mix of tango and mac icons in the contact list.....

the formating toolbar(the one that has the buttons for emotes,winks,etc) in the convo window is finish i dont think i change anything else, the standard toolbar is far from finish i need icons for file transfer, activities, received files......the contact list needs status icons and some other things.......

btw

the new tango icons when they r supposed to be release?

I prefer the icons in the previous one, when they were lighter.

But, nevertheless, great job! Loving it, and might even switch to WLM once this is out. Sticked with miranda only because of Tango.

//wishes for complete tango emoticon set // :p

SHADOW-XIII

In reality, yes the shadow would be different but it appears that in Tango a default circular shadow is used for all icons. If I'm wrong, let me know but all of the icons I've seen have this shadow and so I'm sticking to it

you got point, but check main Tango page. All shadows are round but I think they have diffirent transparency : huge things in icons give more blackish shadow while smaller/thinner things give less visible shadow

request: is there anyone who could make this icon in Tango style ? It's Polish messenger called Gadu-Gadu. For bigger reference use its' logo on its' website (top left corner)

(looking for icons 16x16+)

Yes, according to the Tango Icon Guidelines, the shadow is reflective of the object in question. There is a section on the main Tango site that discusses this and gives tips and examples.

Didn't Lokheed make a Gadu Gadu Tango icon? Maybe I'm not remembering correctly.

There's a new Tango-fied Gadu-Gadu icon at the Gaim (Pidgin) website here. There's SVGs as well in case you need to make icons larger than 48x48.

These are the 48 22 and 16 versions from the pidgin site and they don't seem Tango. A bit too glossy?

This seems to be more Tango:

oh and what's "single-shot mods" option from tango patcher install ?
A small little thing to overwrite a tiny section of one of the icon themes with something specific. Basically, I invented it so could throw my blue mouse icon up there for myself, planned on doing a bit more, and then couldn't be bothered :p
the new tango icons are they available? svg maybe? also where i can find the tangerine icons or svg?

  • What "new" Tango icons are you referring to?

  • Tangerine's at Ubuntu's launchpad page. There's been some minor updates to it, in theory I might get around to implementing them.

don't worry, man, I've got it. I used Photoshop to make these BMPs transparent, then I index their colors and saved 'em. There might be a few bugs, but I got it.111_copy.bmp

726_copy.bmp

730_copy.bmp

There you go, no need to thank me.

      Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • DuRoBo Krono Review: Portable E-Ink reader with great ideas that need a bit of improvement

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8

      Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • what other retro software do yall use

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
