[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

I've changed the tail-end of the FAQ section in the first post:

  • On "omg orange diamonds, wrong icon!":
    • I'm probably going to change this back, soon, since this is the noisiest damn thing I hear about, the only person who actually liked that was me, and I'm not even using XP anymore. Maybe I'll just use the Gnome icon all around...

  • What VS are you using in the orange-diamond-faq-screenshot?

    [*]When will X86-64 be supported?

    • I'm workin' on it!

I'm pretty sure 32-bit is really 24 bits of colour, and 8 bits of alpha... and Windows needs a driver that makes the distinction between the two to support alpha-blending... but it looks like you're running WindowFX or something, there, so maybe just on its own bitmaps.

I doubt any amount of mode-switching is going to fix it, unless it was stuck on a mode, like after coming out of a poorly behaved game.

Dunno. I'm running windows XP 32 bit. All I know is that I have the option of 16-bit colour, or 32-bit colour. I've had the same problem and did that and it fixed it.

I haven't seen any Tango/GNOME themes for FF3 yet, still waiting for one myself...

Problem: I just reformatted and when I apply the Shell Patcher, it installs the wrong icon for My Computer.

I can modify the shell32.dll file myself, but then the Reloader bugs me about a file being changed, and I would prefer to have the reloader on so it can notify me of files that need being re-patched.

I have reinstalled twice and it keeps applying the wrong icon.

Anyone seen a Gnome theme for ff3 and thunderbird?

[WIP] Firefox Beta 3 Linux Theme

You can find Tango/Gnome FF3 skins there. As for Thunderbird, there is a Tango theme but no Gnome themes, although Stefeq did release a teaser back in February but so far it still hasn't been released.

....ok, but why is it an icon of a server when it should be a computer as it was before the reformat?

What could cause this?

The simplest things to check... either:

  • Your icon cache is messed up
  • You have its icon set using something else (iconpackager, windows's own control panel for changing the desktop icons
  • You have a very interesting modified reshack script / swapped icon file.

Anything else and we're getting into the realm of "I'm too sleepy to think of it at the moment."

@tehmemories - could it be Vista Drive Indicator? or Vista Drive Icon?

I think he meant Vista Drive icon, but I'm not sure on the condition of the skins, even if they're uploaded here or on another server that is already expired. Also, only two versions were made, Tango and Tangerine, Gnome and Industrial were given the cold shoulder :p .

EDIT: I found out where they are and the Tango versions seems to be online. Tangerine however seems to have disappeared.

EDIT2: It seems my foray into the past has unearthed vertigosity's work on Solitaire. If I may ask, what happened to it?

I love this pack, but I have one small issue with it, for some reason when I install a new program, the icon for it in the All Programs menu is replaced by an orange square on it's point icon, like this. I've uninstalled it, and reinstalled, but still the folders are like that. Sorry if this issue has been covered, I searched for an answer but couldn't narrow down a solution.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Also I tried rebuilding the icon cache using Tweak UI, but that didn't help either.

Vertigosity did this on purpose, as a generic folder icon. If you look at the first post on the thread, you'll see how you can change icons according to what category they fall under, e.g. you can have a custom icon for the Accessories folder. If you don't like making custom icons, then the diamond will be the icon for all your categories.

@ Vertigosity: I'm another person that thinks the diamond icon on start menu groupings should be kept :D I think it's a nice idea, especially when combined with the ability to change the default icon for each grouping.

Perhaps it would be possible to have an option in the installer for the patcher to automatically change the default icon for the standard categories, like Accessories, Games, etc.? Then people might not be confused about what's going on, and perhaps might be convinced of how good it is to have custom icons for default menu groupings :D

Perhaps half the problem is that many people don't know you can have custom icons in the start menu. An option in the installer to modify the default categories would likely go a long way to solving that problem.

As far as that goes, I dropped Tango's orange diamond in favor of Gnome's junkbox and checked that into SVN (a few weeks ago). It'll probably be the only theme-related change when I release the 64-bit supported patcher.

Setting some of them on the default program groups probably isn't that hard - just make an INI, and attrib it system hidden, both things NSIS has good built-in functions for. I'll keep it in mind (Y)

Cool, thanks, I guess I didn't search as well as I thought..but then I didn't really have any idea what I was searching for. And it actually seems like a good way to organize, I wasn't aware of this. Thanks again for the info!

Is there a Songbird icon and GNOME theme? I haven't been able to find any.

Scirwode

Ah, thanks for that (Y) . I'm also looking for a Mozilla Sunbird icon and a GNOME theme for it. Do you know where I can find it?

(for Sunbird) If all you need is a dock icon, Hylke Bons did one alongside Firefox and Thunderbird: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php...amp;PHPSESSID=6

- I haven't converted other sizes like I did for the other two, though.

I don't think half the icons Sunbird uses have anything in GIT...

    • 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.
