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!

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.

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?

      Seems like Neowin has transitioned into being simps for the white house. I can't find a review for the last UFC games that came out.
