I thought this was something else. I was kinda surprised after boot. I hafta remind myself to read documentation before installing. It doesn't really matter, it was actally quite okay since my last iconset was fragments of, I dunno, seven... or perhaps more, diffrent sets.

Thanks! And the icons are very user friendly. They melt with the style I'm using atm.

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.

It should be there - unless you're talking about STTP 6000?

No, it's XP. I must be doing something wrong then or maybe it's about time I format my notebook :p .

All your hard work is apreciated vertigosity, makes things beautiful. :)

It should be fine to upgrade to SP3 when it arrives shouldn't it? No need to uninstall STTP first?

Most of the icons will revert back to XP. However, it will reload itself after the next reboot.

Pretty much. I'll need to release an update to cover the new comctl32.dlls, but that'll need to be done after SP3 anyways.

Yeah, but I'm deep in the middle of a big important (non-computer) project, and I don't have internet access at home right now... so I'm pretty much double-teamed until it's out on the Download Center.

Lately I've been wandering the internet for missing icons for some of the programs that I use, and I've noticed that I haven't found an IrfanView Tango icon. There is the IrfanView Tango/Gnome Toolbars and Image icons by stefeq but no icon to replace that road kill cat :p ! Can anyone point me in the right direction or could create one so I could Reshack it?

Havent updated here in a while, but I've been making some tango-styled icons that I could really use the feedback on, previews also attached. All of them are released on my dA page: http://darkobra.deviantart.com

Unluckily this screws up SP3, so please update this nice tool, vertigosity.

I'm using it on SP3 and have had no problems whatsoever.

I had it installed on SP2 and when I updated I reloaded everything (4 Files before reboot, ~19 after reboot) and couldn't boot it up because of some file. I copied over the SP2 file from Update-Backup-Folder and it could boot up to the graphic interface. This time missing (or corruped whatever) two other files (msgina.dll and SHELL32.dll). After using the SP2 ones of these two I could boot up the whole system, but Windows gave me some errors this time, so I uninstalled Tango Patcher and reinstalled SP3 which fixed it. Is it save to install Tango over it now?

The first time I installed SP3, all I had to do was accept the reloading icon prompt upon rebooting after installation. After that, everything reloaded fine, except of course the comctl32.dlls isons, which vertigosity is working on anyways. The second time is after I slipstream SP3 and installed STTP.

In both cases, everything worked out fine.

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.

      CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
