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):

http://tango.benpbrown.com/source/November...%20(CCbySA).rar

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?

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. :)

tangoopenofficepatcherbgb2.jpg

Features:

- Replaces most of the application and document icons with Tango Icons (doesn't make a backup of the previous icons)

- Replaces the skin of OpenOffice with a Tango OpenOffice toolbar made by Lokheed (it makes a backup of the old skin)

Important:

The script assumes OpenOffice 2 is installed in the default path of Program Files in directory of name OpenOffice.org 2.2

in most cases: C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.2\

If your copy of OpenOffice is installed in a different folder please read the instructions in readme.txt

Available @ tangoproject.wordpress.com

Hope you enjoy it

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?

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.

... 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

    • Dopamine 3.0.6

      By Copernic · Posted

      Dopamine 3.0.6 by Razvan Serea Dopamine is an awesome free audio player which tries to make organizing and listening to music as simple and pretty as possible. Dopamine has been designed for Windows 7, Windows 8.x and Windows 10 and plays mp3, ogg vorbis, flac, wma and m4a/aac music formats quite well. The best part? It's created by long-time Neowin member, Raphaël Godart. If you’re looking for a music player to handle a large music collection, you should definitely give Dopamine a try. Dopamine 3.0.6 changelog: Fixed Manually edited album covers are overwritten on the next collection refresh Fixed AppImage package not working on modern GNU/Linux distributions Deleting song from playlist sometimes fails Playback controls only work when clicking on upper half of the buttons It's unclear that files must be tagged with an external ReplayGain scanner (for example rsgain) before normalization can take effect. Change to Artist or Album tags is not reflected in the song list view nor in the Now Playing information ReplayGain issues Smart playlist filters ignore text containing accents or other special characters Some MP3 files trigger an "MPEG header not found" error due to a too-narrow initial MPEG header scan range Changed Updated the Vietnamese translation Download: Dopamine 3.0.6 | 122.0 MB (Open Source) Links: Home Page | Forum Discussion | Screenshot | Other OSes Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta

      By Copernic · Posted

      BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6

      By Copernic · Posted

      DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
