[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

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?

I can test it on my PSP now, I was looking for someone who could do that (you can see my previous posts in this topic) ... so I'll gladly help

That'd be great. My PSP is asking to be Tango'd!

Well, since there's a few people who're wanting to try this, I'll get on it.

However, there'll be a bit of a wait: I'm not currently able to get ahold of PSP custom firmware, so I won't be able to fully test it yet. However, the exploit recently released by the Noobz team (named Illuminati) will possibly open up that field of exploration for myself.

Hmmm... How about a Tango-style skin for XBMC?

I was thinking about that too, there's an "xTV" appleTV inspired skin out there, which could be tango'd really nicely :shiftyninja:

Great work by the way.

Would it be possible to add a 5th theme for turbo tango shell patcher called Human. this icon tweaker theme has the icons i am talking about. Please check it out.

ooh, that would be cool. I've always liked the Ubuntu icon theme :)

It's not going to happen from me, not a chance. I have too many projects (and too many subprojects in the Tango meme, which Human isn't in anyways, although its first cousin Tangerine is) to pick up another one (if anything, I need to drop something). If someone else wants to put together, test, and debug it as a dirty little add-on/wrapper that uses STTP's install-time resource overriding, then so be it, and I can drop a link in my FAQ so the entire universe can stop bothering me about it, but I'm not going to throw any time at it, whatsoever.

Yeah. I was part of the development team for xTV :p

They also would solve the thumbnail problem in vista, wouldn't they... Vert?
Kinda, but TBH the only icons that'll really work properly on Vista are Vista's. I'm thinking I'll have to do a shape-identical colour mimic, like I did for the XP thumbnail icons (only as proper SVGs and not as a set of raster and vector layers in PSP), as my quick-and-dirty attempt at sidewaysing at least the Gnome folder icon didn't turn out so hot:

Sorry, but I must disagree, the icon may not be "hot" but it is cool.

You do good work, and I like a system that dances. :D

me like it

I'm sure someone else has mentioned them before me, but has any of you guys seen the new ubuntu studio icons?Pretty stylish imho... They also would solve the thumbnail problem in vista, wouldn't they... Vert?
a quick look @ them made me think they can look fine in WLM.....

    • 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.
