https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...amp;p=587993616<- that's the only thing that doesn't point to my now-defunct website. You're pretty much on your own for figuring out how it works, though.

I realize that Firefox 3 will probably be released shortly, and that people will start releasing themes, tango included. BUT, I've always preferred to do things myself, instead of having to download some other component. If you want to only change the various icons in Firefox, while still using the default theme, I have found the way!

I imagine the directory structure of Firefox 3 will be the same as Minefield. If it turns out that it's not, I'll come edit this post.

-------------------------------------------

Navigate to C:\Program Files\Minefield\chrome, copy the file classic.jar and go paste it in some other folder so you can play with it. Rename it to classic.zip and extract it. Inside this new folder, you will find a folder named skin, and 2 images (icon.png and preview.png - you see these in the theme preview box).

All of the images that you want to edit are in \skin\classic\browser, the most important ones are Toolbar-small.png and Toolbar.png because those are the main toolbar images that you will be seeing most often. Open up those images and edit them however you want. I replaced them with the appropriate Tango icons, making sure to alter a bit for state changes (normal, hover, dead, pressed).

NOTE: Vista toolbar images are in \skin\classic\aero\browser!

When you are done editing images, it's now time to repack them.

Go back to your main theme folder and highlight the skin directory, and those 2 .png images, and then add them to a new .zip archive. You MUST preserve the directory sctucture! When you go to open your .zip, you should only see the skin directory and the 2 images, NOT the entire theme folder.

Rename the .zip into classic.jar. A confirmation dialogue will pop up asking whether you really want to change the file extension, click YES.

Close Firefox and go back to C:\Program Files\Minefield\chrome and replace the classic.jar in there with your new one. You may want to keep a safe copy of the original somewhere.

Keep in mind that if you do an update, that your edited classic.jar might get reverted to the original, so you'll have to replace it again.

Below are my toolbar images for you to copy.

So I went ahead and created a couple new Tango icons for my own needs, and I figure some others might get some use from this as well. These are my first icons of any type, much less for the Tango project, so some critique would be useful if it is warrented. All icons are 48x48, ICO and SVG versions are available too.

Disclaimer: Some icons are modified versions of existing ones. I know this might not be kosher, but...it worked. SweepRAM, CCleaner, and to a small extent the Database icon fall into this category, so original credits still go to their authors.

Database/Repository, Surround SCM, SweepRAM, CCleaner, TestTrack, Foobar2000

Maybe this question has been answered a lot of times... but 185 pages are too much reading: This patch changes ONLY the icons and some resources? Because I like the icons, but also my own visual style and I want to keep it.

Thanks in advance,

i downloaded this and it seemed way too intense. i kept getting spyware detection and loading times for the start bar were horrendous. the icons must be graphically intensive. it took my 1 year old laptop 30 seconds to load the control panel icons from the start menu. :(

SP3 is really near, are we going to have some update for it?
Probably - nothing too fancy, just new comctl32.dll locations, and swaps for some of those nasty icons I drew way back in the day (totem for wimp, and the winamp icon somebody found earlier in the thread for my less awesome doodling).

I noticed that the Thunderbird icon is not available in STTP. I know I could simply reshack it but is there any chance you can put it in? I am however just asking and if you feel it's not necessary, I understand.

    • I think he means you haven't reviewed previous UFC games. Of course it doesn't matter... Every time you just report on something that involves the President even if just simply what happened you guys usually get accused of being anti-Trump. We live in fun times.
    • So how did you solve the problem? Disabling Secure Boot isn’t a solution.
    • Another devilish issue surrounding these certificates is what can happen with old, unsuspecting PCs that nevertheless have Secure Boot enabled. In my case, it was a Dell with a 3rd-gen Core chip (so about 13 years old). As of the last few weeks, it was suddenly BSOD'g within about 5 minutes of booting. Turns out it was because of MS's "Secure-Boot-Update" scheduled task, which is scheduled to run 5 minutes after login. It's explained in gory detail here (this is not my post, but it was where I found the answer), but the short version is that this legacy system would need fairly elaborate, manual certificate intervention since MS's automatic cert update method cannot work. How to do that is linked late in the thread. https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...od-caused-by-scheduled-task Secure Boot wasn't at all important for this particular PC, so I disabled it to be done with the problem.
    • Winhance 26.06.12 by Razvan Serea Winhance is an open-source Windows enhancement utility designed to help users debloat, optimize, and customize Windows 10 and 11. It provides a user-friendly interface for removing unwanted apps, legacy components, and optional features safely, giving you more control over your system. With Winhance, you can improve performance, reduce clutter, and enhance privacy without the need for a clean install. Beyond basic debloating, Winhance offers extensive optimization tools. Users can tweak power plans, adjust gaming and performance settings, control notifications, and manage Windows Update behavior. Privacy-focused settings allow you to limit telemetry and data collection, while system customization options let you personalize the taskbar, Start menu, Explorer, and Windows themes.

New AI privacy groups have been added for Windows AI, Microsoft Edge AI, and Microsoft Office AI, giving users clearer control over AI-related telemetry and feature usage. In addition, new settings in Gaming & Performance introduce AI taskbar pin toggles, options to remove AI apps, and controls for AI services and scheduled tasks, allowing users to better manage how AI components run in the background and appear in the system. For advanced users and IT professionals, Winhance integrates WIMUtil, a tool for creating custom Windows installation ISOs with automated configuration. You can generate autounattend.xml files, inject drivers, and apply your chosen Winhance settings automatically during installation. Most changes are non-destructive and reversible, with clear explanations in the GUI. Whether you’re optimizing a single PC or managing multiple systems, Winhance delivers a faster, cleaner, and highly personalized Windows experience. The Winhance.Installer.exe includes both Installable and Portable versions during setup. Winhance supports both Windows 10 and Windows 11 64-bit versions.

Winhance 26.06.12 changelog: Features Builder Mode — build a Winhance config file or autounattend.xml without changing anything on the PC you're sitting at. Flip the new mode switcher to Builder, set everything the way you want it, and save the result as a Winhance config or an autounattend file ready for deployment on other machines. Sponsors & Supporters page — the exit donation dialog is gone. In its place, an in-app page (heart icon or the More menu) recognizes the businesses and individual supporters who keep Winhance free. It works offline and is fully localized. Change History — Winhance now keeps a receipt of everything it does. ChangeHistory.txt records every setting change (before and after values) and every app install or removal, with clear headers for config imports and bulk actions. Open it from the More menu. Hebrew language support — Winhance is now available in 29 languages. New Explorer customizations: desktop icon visibility toggles, This PC folder visibility, an icon cache size setting, and automatic thumbnail cache cleanup. New "All apps view" setting for the redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, and the Windows 11 system tray icons setting is now a dropdown with more control. App-local UI zoom — press Ctrl +/-/0 or use Ctrl+MouseWheel to scale the whole app, just like a browser. New External Apps: EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Rockstar Games Launcher, PowerShell, and Helium Browser. Bug Fixes Layouts no longer clip when the Windows text size slider is set above 100%. Accessibility: Narrator now announces setting names on toggles and dropdowns, previously unlabeled buttons are labeled, and progress updates are announced. Silent updates now respect your custom install location instead of reverting to the default. Cancel in Review Mode no longer clears your app selections. OneNote is now detected correctly for Win32 Click-to-Run installs. Clean Start Menu applies more reliably by also writing the group policy path. WinGet errors are no longer silent — error details now show in the terminal output. Fixed a startup crash on older Windows builds caused by a .NET runtime regression. Config import now converts power setting values correctly and no longer re-applies an already-active power plan. Improvements App icons load noticeably faster and cover almost everything now, including legacy capabilities and optional features — they come from a dedicated, checksum-validated icon repository and are fetched in parallel. Software & Apps polish: per-icon tooltips, extra table columns, an app sort dropdown, relocated search, and a cleaner compact view. A warning now appears when the Connected Devices Platform Service is set to Manual or Disabled, since some Windows features depend on it.
