[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows

[stranded]

Yet the RAM usage advantage is still by great means in favour of Miranda. 6-10MB << 20-25MB

Sticking with Miranda though I am considering jacking Pidgin imagery :)

I got 1GB RAM :p so I don't really care about memory-eating apps these days.

But yeah Miranda seems a lot 'lighter' not only in RAM usage but in general.

I was poking around my Firefox add-ons and noticed I hadn't changed my Splash extension's picture in a while. Seeing as how I love a good splash screen, I decided to make one in Tango-style.

There it is, and it's free-to-use if anyone feels like it. You'll need the Splash extension for it, but you can just as easily set it as an about window picture.

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.

Any further progress on it? I die every time I launch TB2.0 without tango. lol

[lordtinuviel]

Guys could you please consider posting preview images that link to the your big screenshots? Especially when we're talking about unfinished projects.

Thanks.

[lordtinuviel]

sorry my bad, will not happen again

I'm really sorry but no, I haven't even touched the TB skin. I have a TON of things I said I'd do which I haven't done and the whole reason I skin to to contribute to the tech world (however meekly) which I am not doing. Tell you what, I will most likely not be able to get any sleep tonight because I am an insufferable insomniac so after I get back from class I'll see how much I can get done on the Tango TB skin. You are using Tango right? Tangerine and GNOME are coming after Tango if I ever get around to finishing it.

[mauseum]

Yeah I'm using Tango but take you time man, no rush. :p

[The Regal Wind]

Oh, I knew I forgot somethin'.

Does anyone still have the Tango Foxytunes skin? I could use it.

BobP made it so he might still have it somewhere. I'm not sure where he got off to. Haven't seen him in this thread for awhile.

almost finish

You do know that Gears of War doesn't play itself, right?

Anyways, I'll try and find you that FoxyTunes skin. It's probably somewhere on my FTP. If it is not, tough luck. I deleted/lost/ate the source files ages ago. Although they may be on my other other drive.... I'm confusing myself now.

where can i find a WLM Icon ?

[The Regal Wind]

Much thanks, man, I really appreciate it.

I'm making a Git2 opera theme, this is the first theme I've tried to make so it may take a while, although opera seems relitivly easy to skin, here's a preview:

Only thing I'm having trouble with is finding some good images that fit for certain functions, so there will probably be some older looking place holder images.

Looking good! Good to see more people focusing on Git2. To be honest, when I'm in my "I LOVE EVERYONE! PUPPIES!" mood Git2 really seems appealing. Such bright colors and happiness! If ya need any help trying to figure out which icons to use for what feel free to ask here. One of us will know.

Judging it as a Tango skin:>

• - The icons as a setdon't seem to be in balance>, pretty random actually. + Maybe it's theyellow> that doesn't go all that well with some of them.

- It's hard to give WLM the Tango look since theGUI of the application itself isn't as simple> as in the case of, for example, GTK-derived apps (Pidgin, GIMP, Ooo etc.) which have much simpler interfaces.

So in short:> Sorry but I don't like it. Doesn't have theTango feel> which I thought is important if you post it on a Tango forum:))

P.S.>

Thanks for your work. One way or another it's great to see those efforts coming:DD

I saw ViperAFK's Opera theme and Sooperdoode's Tb 2.0 theme are getting done.

Au contraire, I checked the Pidgin site for the latest public release build a few days ago and didn't find anything, so I wouldn't have checked for another week or so if you hadn't said anything :p

Aha! So I have managed to find something Tango before the great vertigosity! You probably knew of the native Tango on the new version before me though. You're still a god, sir :p

You do know that Gears of War doesn't play itself, right?

It doesn't? Oh. I didn't know that :p. Sorry to interrupt!

Judging it as a Tango skin:

• - The icons as a set don't seem to be in balance, pretty random actually. + Maybe it's the yellow that doesn't go all that well with some of them.
  - It's hard to give WLM the Tango look since the GUI of the application itself isn't as simple as in the case of, for example, GTK-derived apps (Pidgin, GIMP, Ooo etc.) which have much simpler interfaces.
  

So in short: Sorry but I don't like it. Doesn't have the Tango feel which I thought is important if you post it on a Tango forum :)

I think the skin is good but I agree that WLM is tough to Tangoize due to it's natural interface. No fault to Daeron, of course. MS made WLM to fit Vista and the Windows Live colors and all which clash a bit with Tango. I think the skin is actually quite good so far but it could be polished a bit and more could be done to make it fit more into the Tango world. I don't use WLM and can only imagine that it is difficult to skin so don't take my opinion to seriosly!

Oh, and I'm sure ViperAFK is working way more on the Opera skin than I am with the TB2 skin. I am working on it though ;)

[lordtinuviel]

i'm open to suggestions and bare in mind that i'm new to the whole msn skinning but i will try to improve it and when i'm stuck i just ask like i have done this past days, thkz to willz and
