[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

The Vista icons aren't all that bad. I'll be fine with them until Vert releases the Vista pather. It'll be interesting to see what new things it will do.

Why, Vertigosity, must you constantly keep changing your avatar to something cool. That new one you have looks awesome! Where are you getting all of these? And you shouldn't be putting teasers in your Sig. It'll make us go crazy :p

Yeah, they're not bad... but, you know, everyone uses them. As there won't be any themes for Vista that aren't just mods adjusting aero's transparency, the patcher will be the only opportunity to give Vista some personality.

Oh, hm... give operating systems personality... oh my :pinch: They gonna take over the world one day.

Yeah, Vista's icons are actually pretty nice looking, but I've gotta mod it just because I can :D On the flip side, anything for which there isn't a good Tangoid replacement will look less out of place in Vista than XP.

I'd just like to say that I really don't like Resource Tuner Console (which, TBH, is probably going to be necessary for Win64 support).

It's got to be installed (presumably to register bits of itself as COM components or some such), so that it can be accessed by the Windows Script Host, since it uses VBscript as its scripting language. You have pretty much write a miniature program to handle the logic of modifying the binary, which just feels way more complicated than the nice simple declarative comma-seperated list of parameters that ResHack uses. Moreover, maybe I'm just being stupid and missing something that should be painfully obvious, but I can't get it actually... open a file outside of its installation directory. This... this must be what going insane feels like.

Woah! Thanks for that link; there is some sweet stuff on there :D But none the .tar.gz files will open correctly in WinRAR.. Any suggestions?

Edit - Nevermind, they opened with 7zip.

IZarc is easy to decompress.

all thats needed is an ASPack unpacker.

or my favorite... quick unpack (use google)

after that just use your resource hacker to change stuff.

And after that for optimal performance it would be best to repack it.

Does any of these support packing

P.S.

I guess there's no freeware unpacker or packer, is there?

doesn't matter if ya pack it or not, packing just makes the file size smaller and doesn't offer any performance upgrades (well.. none that i've seen).

The most popular freeware packer/unpacker is UPX.

but one thing about unpacking is there is no definite unpacker that works with all types..

Any progress on the Nano (2nd gen) theme?

From what I recall, the 2nd gen Nano's got an encrypted firmware, so no theming for it just yet.

I think they're cracking it soon though, just keep an eye out on iPodLinux's webpage and iPodWizard.

    • 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...
