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.

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?

      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 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).
