[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

I :heart: Tango. Someone should put together a Tango icon set for iPhone/iPod Touch :)

Someone might as well put a Tango set Windows Mobile 6.1/TouchFLO 3D/Symbian/Sony Ericsson/PSP/Nintendo DS and a host of other devices to complete the set. While they're at it, might as well create a GNOME set as well to make it really complete :laugh: !

I'm just joking by the way but if anyone wants to take up the call, be my guest and don't let my idiotic rambling stop you :p !

H*** yes. I've been ogling iPod Touches for a while now, but haven't really had the cash... I think you just cinched it for me :D

I love my iPod and the Tango icons do look rather dashing on it...I must say. However now that I've gotten a taste of what a MID [Mobile Internet Device] can do. I've been wanting more. What I'm currently looking at getting is a Nokia N810. Maybe it will be a X-mas gift to myself.

Hey, did somebody ask for a PSP theme?

Because I NOW HAVE ONE for you guys, months after I disappeared without bringing forth results.

AND BEHOLD, IT WAS GOOD.

Looks nice, but it only makes me wish I had a PSP to try it out :laugh: . A question though, is there anyone working on a Thunderbird GNOME theme? It's the only app on my desktop which isn't GNOME and considering that I've just got my OWA to work with it, it's one of my most used software.

Its been a while since I updated anything here, but I have been slowly working on a bunch of different Tango-ified icons. They're on my deviantArt page, but the one I really wanted to mention is the weather pack I worked on:

Some people here might like this, just wanted to update everyone. Nice job on the iPod/iPhone mod too!

Hi. I downloaded the Tango Pather 2600 8.06 on DeviantART. But after I install it and I log in, all the icons are replaced, but I can't get into some programs like none of the browsers I have on my computer (FF, Chrome, IE7). And when I tried to uninstall it, it the uninstaller wouldn't show. So I had to go into safe mode to do it. I like the patcher, just I can't live without FireFox. :) Help would be appreciated.

Sorry for the doublepost... I have a request of sorts...

Could someone please do the following?

I could really use some composite icons, like this one:

places-user-docs.png

These are the ones I had in mind:

drive-harddisk.png + emblem-windows.png / package-x-generic.png

folder.png + applications-internet.png / media-optical.png / system-users.png

So if someone has the source .svg-s and some free time, I'd be really grateful :)

Here are the icons from vert's shell patcher in the attachment.

Hey people. I am glad that this treat is still alive. I've been doing some own Tango job in my free time...skining some apps and replacing even more XP icons with Tango. I do not have the latest patcher installed as I was doing my own work on the dlls.

You can take a look at www.8666.deviantart.com

-Tango Folders

-Skin for 1by1 MP3 Player

-Skin for XnView

I do not know an easy way to make a patcher (maybe not even having time) but at least I want to share this screen shot with you:

There is more... but I can not show it all. I want to replace every original XP icon.those that are not replacable..I edited the dialog boxes :) I am using XP SP2 so ....I do not know..uploading DLL will be illegal huh?

It's been a while since this thread is active. That said, anyone know of a good Gnome 7-Zip theme, I had one before but I lost it. I'm using this icon for the moment which is really good, just wish it had a nice theme to it.

Scirwode

Thanks for the XnView skin. I somehow missed that on dA.

BTW: What visual style are you using in your screenshots? Looks like Windows Classic to me, but some elements do not have the 'classic' look IMHO.

It's classic with modified shellstyle.dll

Other fonts and colors (Themes service off)

Let me list the programs that I run with Tango (NO Gnome at all):

-FireFox2, 3 - I modified the themes even more (some non tango icons where tweaked)

-DownThemAll for FF

-Thunderbird

-XnView

-SmPlayer (can not change the main icon only)

-WinRAR

-uTorrent

-7-ZIP

-OpenOffice 3

-InfraRecorder (does not work properly with my recorder especially the verify thing)

-Notepad++ (my own mod of the skin)

-FoxiReader (work in progress, no support alpha channel in toolbars so I build them against my XP background color to keep the shadows in proper form)

-FileZilla

-1by1 MP3 Player

Would like GIMP and InkScape in Tango not Gnome

Also XYExplorer (not possible to skin now)

and a Tango friendly workable CD Burner!

-Is it possible to remove the border around thumbnails (without running any theme manager)..maybe changing few bytes in explorer.exe? I know it is controled bu Button Face color.

-I modify (make complete) most of the Tango skins that I find onlline and I only use Portable software (Not messing in the registry and introducing their own file types/mime icons)

Please do not quote this post (or at least the url), as I will change the url / image sooner or later (privacy stuff)

I do not have overlays. Suggestions?

How Tango is this?

I plan to change the sun in the weather, Skype and Yahoo have stronger outline...this is all raster design..maybe I should start all over in vector? I plan to make Windows classic skin too...or maybe go back to classic list..I removed the fingerprint just because in is not Tango :)

It will be available on the Miranda site..around beginning of March '09

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
    • ive always been fascinated by old software this is an old video player for windows from apple
