Since Firefox 3.1/.5 and uTorrent 1.83 are well in their advanced stages, can someone release GNOME themes for them :p ?

I downloaded the latest patcher and ran it. It changed my icons as it was instructed. My questions is this... I believe a previous patcher version installed in folders on your hard drive the entire Tango icon collection (at least I had them on a previous hard drive that died). Does anyone know where I can get the entire or at least large collection of the Tango icons (ico or png format)? I have searched Google and Deviantart but with little luck.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

This is what vertigosity has said:

If you receive a warning from your antivirus program about WFPdisable.exe, it is safe to ignore. Because of what the program does (disables WFP, which will complain about and attempt to undo changes system files), your AV software likely considers it dangerous. It's technically not a false positive per se, since it's correctly detecting what it is and acting appropriately, but WFP is re-enabled after a reboot, and it reduces the number of complaints from WFP dialogs (so I can't win - it's either complaints about WFP dialogs or complaints about antivirus detection.)

I was sleepy few days ago when I press update in my xp...and it is SP3 now...but it ruined my custom tango stuff. I plan to restore the backup of the partition temorary on another pc just to get my tangofied files back... AFTER that I plan to UPGRADE the Tango patcher!

My custom version of xp had much more Tango then with 2600 patcher so it will be a step forward and I plan to do it bu upgrading the scripts so other people can do it for themself

HOWEVER I want help. I have job like vertigosity now :) so please give me suggestions, custom patches, your own icons etc so I can implement them.

PLEASE share too if you want free stuff. Cheers

Heres vertigosity's patcher for Vista:

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=572421

However I would guess it needs work for Windows 7 support. Also vertigosity has ceased working on his tango patchers.

Yeah, the Vista package works unmodified on Seven.

I haven't completely stopped, I've been trying to get back into it lately, to play with Anolis, which looks incredibly promising, but it sorta seems like every electrical and mechanical object in my life is conspiring against me...

i have updated my KDE Vista Patcher to work with Windows 7, most of the resources are the same, i made a couple of changes and additions.

Anolis is a great project, i'll stick with vize 1 code for now, what about the 64 bit implementation you were working on?

Why don't you release the source code to get a hand or two from other members?

1. Wow Xpize is cool. What will happen if I run it over Tango-nized XP and then run Tango reloader..will keep theicons from the xpize that are not affected by Tango patcher right? I love some of the Xpize stuff.

2. There should be a unified project for modifying windows. Some will make the scripts other will just find suitable resources to replace original MS stuff. I find it hard to contribute. Especially writing reshacker scripts...it's boring. There should be a way to get a packet of scripts (more will be contibuted to affect new exe files) ...the scripts will than extract the xp resources...then you replace the files...and you run a packager that will create an installer.

Updates will be just adding new scripts and ading suteable resources (icons , bitmaps etc). Lot of "themes" will be developed this way

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
