[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

My only purpose is to get nice dock icons, that don't pixelate when I zoom on them ;) The IE, Firefox and Gaim icons exist, hovewer I don't know where I can find their bigger versions, suitable for the dock. In this topic someone made new icons upon wishes from other users, so I thought that I could make a wish of my own (excel, word). If that is too much to ask, then I'm sorry (I don't intend to be rude in this sentence, it's only my poor english).

You have every right to ask for assistance and make a request. I know that vertigosity has the IE and Firefox icons in those large PNG formats in the Compository/Source page of the Tango on Windows site. Here is a direct link for that package (You'll need WinRAR):

As for the Office icons, maybe use the OpenOffice ones created by Jimmac? They're on the Tango-Fridays page in SVG format. That doesn't help you much. Maybe someone will whip something up for ya! There was some some pretty awesome Tango icon making going on a bit ago ;)

Hey that's good enough a purpose :)

Sorry I think I misunderstood you a little bit in the previous post.

Anyway, I am going to post Ooo(Writer, Calc , Impress etc. ) icons so maybe they will be of use to you. They will be up to 48x48

For the time being the only thing I can recommend is Tango Fridays

Hi!

I'm looking for dock-icons matching the tango-style.

Any ideas?

Could you be more specific as to exactly what type of icons you'd like? If you just want dock sized Tango icons you can access the Patcher source file and get the icons in those specific sizes. If you are looking for some other type of icon...well...it wouldn't be Tango. Does this help you any?

Hi,

I've got great news :)

Remember, when we were planning on setting up something where we could gather all the Tango stuff that has been appearing here? Well, here you are:

I've set up a blog with most of the stuff that has appeared here and I will be updating it regularly.

Sorry to pop in and ask this question again but I still am unable to find the complete GTK+ revision set. Everywhere I go says the set is in gnome-icon-theme-extras but I'm not sure if it is on the Gnome.org CVS and if it is, I don't see a Temp folder in gnome-icon-theme-extras. Am I making any sense? Ugh. I just need the lock and unlock icon and a couple of others but it'd be nice to have access to the set to play around with. Can anyone confirm a location?

Also, I know some were implemented in Ubuntu but when I checked, all I got were the cancel and close icons. I couldn't locate the actual GTK+ set in any of the icon packages. I'm probably not looking hard enough. I never was one for searching properly.

Oh, the Tango Compilation site is great. Maybe organize it a bit more? I know it is new but maybe work out a way to make it more like the Tango on Windows page. I don't know if that is possible. I've only played with Wordpress and K2 on my own domain so had more freedom. Overall though, it is very nice!! Stefeq, aren't you going to add your awesome Ooo patcher to the list?

How bout making a nice Tango wordpress theme?

Can Wordpress.com blogs customize themes manually or do they have a set of preset themes already built in?

Great idea!

I'm glad you like it :)

Currently the blog is hosted at wordpress at a free account so there are few options to customize it

Maybe organize it a bit more?

For now labelling should be enough

How bout making a nice Tango wordpress theme?

A tango theme would be great (Both colour theme + icons). Applying it will be possible after switching to hosted version which will come pretty soon

P.S.

Got some nice stuff coming in the next post. :)

Ain't workin' here...

Only the file association icons are changed, not the toolbar or the .exe's..

  • Open OpenOffice and go tools->options->view
    make sure "Icon size and style" are set to "small" & "Industrial"
  • Did you change all occurences of this path
    %programfiles%\OpenOffice.org 2.2\program\
    to the one you have on your system.

BTW, what is your path to OpenOffice?

Edited by stefeq
Well so was my MS Office, I'm not sold on OpenOffice just yet but tango icons gets it big points.

MS Office was free? I'd have to pay over 100 bucks just to get the new version of Word. I don't like OpenOffice as much but I use it only because it is free. Tango is very nice too.

Is Tango really considered a fad by a lot of people? It was mentioned in another post and I was a bit surprised. I don't think the Tango Project will ever die.

It's free if you know where to look

... but that's illegal :p

Pretty much any appearance will go out of fashion eventually, especially if you factor in future technical considerations like ultra-high-pixel-density displays (which is what Tango Hi-Fi was intended to address). But the beauty of it is that vector graphics are adaptable, if only manually, to different display formats, and that they can be modified to fit a different style fairly easily. The basic perspective has survived basically untouched since the earliest icons (with the exception of the tilted/isometric style in MacOS 7 or so, BeOS, NeXT, XP, and to a lesser degree Vista. Wait, that's pretty much everything :p). So basically, styles change, but Tangooid stuff can, and probably will, adapt. Edited by vertigosity

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
