I'll get to them as soon as I can. :) I've been really busy working on a program (using Tango icons natively ;) of course) and haven't had much time to work on icons. I'll have a bunch of them to release by week's end.

^Hmmm.... don't like the word "never" in your sig ^^ .

You wanted someone to ask, didn't you ;) (or did I miss something?)

Both words are pretty much 160% hyperbole :D

Barring any major timesinks, I'm hoping to spin a preview release of STTP VI: The Undiscovered Country by the end of next week. Some notes on that:

  • It'll use the batch scripts - meaning, if you're so inclined, you can extend it on your own.
  • I'm up to 8 files patched (although there's only a few things in each modified so far)
  • I've been concentrating on getting a feel for what all I can and can't modify or replace. For example, a boot screen is pretty much out. If ntoskrnl isn't signed, it won't be loaded, so I can't even look at it funny. Which is for the best, really. A NOGUIBOOT boot screen is more plausible, but will need extra tools. Either way, the static aurora and the shiny caterpillar don't offend me or contain any really anti-Tango elements so that's not an issue anyways, but you get the point :p
  • I've been doing a lot of poking to find and Tangofy all of the branding elements. I don't know why, but the Vista flag feels out of place to me - too subdued, perhaps, for a land of glass and honey.
  • I ought to have it icon-wise more or less up to the level of what IconPackager can do, which was pretty much my release target for the first release of STTP:XP.
  • Stuff that shows up on the desktop on a somewhat default install is in - I've already got the new battery, network, and volume meters modified. Just don't click any buttons, and it'll be totally convincing!

More to come soon!

Pretty! Very pretty! Once again, Sranshaft, you have made icons worthy of the Jimmac. We bow down to your greatness. Well, no we don't, really. I just said that.

STTP:ViSTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH! Will it be just like what the XP version was like in 2005? ;) Vert, you're dedication and hard work is much appreciated. Maybe people will actually switch to Vista just because of the patcher.

Barring any major timesinks, I'm hoping to spin a preview release of STTP VI: The Undiscovered Country by the end of next week.

Im going to come out of lurking and actually consider helping Vertigo out by spinning out IconPackager themes based on the most recent builds of STTP. The fun part is my laziness prohibits me from actually paying attention to releases or uploading to DA so I get to shirk responsibilities on that part. (Its what us friends do, hehe) Anyway, my impression is that the latest IP supports Vista in all its Glossy Glassy Glory. So for everyone thats been hounding for the Vistized variants, you'll have something to chew on in half-assed glory. The IP sets were never quite as complete but it'll be an alternative to those who want it.

Best case: It'll be done by sometime late Friday.

Less Cool case: An upcoming LAN completely distracts me and Vertigo from Tango work and we both waste the weekend shooting each others faces off. Releases will come Sunday.

Lesser Cool case: I'm a lazy feck and somewhere between getting the latest IconPackager and STTP release, installing Vista in a VM, and working on the pack, I decide that sleeping is so much cooler. Release is indefinitely postponed to never.

Cheers!

I'm thinking of compiling an icon theme for the Playstation Portable, to replace the ugly-as-sin XMB icons I have now.

Why this sudden spark of interest, you may ask? Well, with a new exploit that's come out recently, I might as well prepare for the inevitable.

Who on Neowin besides myself owns a PSP, and would like to see this?

    • 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.
