[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

This would be magic on Windows 7... if only it got taken up again when vertigosity has time :( I've built up a nice collection of other tango/tangerine icons that can be added to the project!

I'm sure opening the project up to assistance with finding icons would make it much easier to do?

There doesn't need to be 4 icon sets maintained - maybe just the main 2 (Tango and Tangerine).

Do we have a group set up for all this to keep track of icons and themes people have contributed (and maybe even requested)? If not, we should! I know I'd be more than willing to lend a hand in developing icons for the project.

I never understood the appeal of these. They look like they were designed on Windows 95 or something. Who would want icons that look like they were colored from a paint program that can't even handle millions of colors?

Personally, I think Tango icons are better designed than some of the "professional" ones. The charm's in its simplicity and usability. Plus, I kind of like how they don't use a huge, unruly palette. It makes for a consistent look that brings everything together. :-)

So does the vista version work for 7?

For a definitive answer, yes, it does work with Windows 7 somewhat.

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit version, and while it patches some of the icons, there's a few problems. I've patched mine and recieved an odd error, "Cannot create file if file already exists". But it still patches the icons reguardless.

I will post a picture later as an example.

I noticed that the icons next to the adress bar aren't changed... Is this just an issue with my config?

No offense but those are some very ugly icons people.

no offence, but you can keep your useless opinion and 'perfect' sence of beautiness inside

Yeah, to fix that, you'd have to add the path for that latest comctl32.dll to the NSIS script (well, several of them, actually) and recompile. If there's a guy maintaining a variant... great. I stopped pretending "I'll have time to get back to STTP someday!" a looong time ago :/

And yeah, that's one of those questions that's been answered to death many times over the past 100 pages...

    • I noticed this was already happening within my organization; my teams location will change between remote and on-site without me having to do anything. Is it possible this is live already for select customers?
    • I wonder what it will show when I'm plugged in with my ethernet cable at home and not using WiFi.
    • While LibreOffice is not pleased to see a new competitor, they are absolutely correct in stating that Euro-Office using a MS file standard as a default is not being truly "European." Using a MS standard just means Euro-Office is just a "bastardized MS Office Suite." (Wasn't a major purpose of Euro-Office was to get away from being captive and enslaved to MS's Office Suite??)
    • Microsoft continues its long-term policy of spying on their users--despite vehement denials. That feature will be disabled (or removed) either "elegantly" with MS providing a true way to disable it, or "quick and dirty" via a third-party who WILL come up with a way to disable it. Your choice MS...
