First off, great script. I've tweaked it a little bit (for my own use & purposes) and i was wondering how i would be able to modify the firefox.exe.txt file, for other programs such as thunderbird, utorrent, miranda etc.

My question is more directed to the two lines of code here:

-addoverwrite res_unofficial\vertigo\internet-web-browser-firefox.ico, ICONGROUP, 0, 
-addoverwrite res_unofficial\vertigo\internet-web-browser-firefox.ico, ICONGROUP, 32512,

I guess all i really need to know is what the '0' and the '32512' values are, and how to change them to represent other apps like those listed above.

Edit: I also just noticed that when I lock my computer (windows key + L) the new 'locked computer icon' seems to chop off the beginning of the text. Just wondering the easiest way to fix this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

can i get confirm on if this has been updated ive looked on da but im not 100 % sure
I don't post here until it is :yes:
Anymore Screenies? I want to see what is all done. I'd rather see what is done than read about it. Pictures > Words.
I've been playing with Vista Beta 2, but I think I'll be restoring my XPSP2 image later tonight (fun's worn off). I'll get around to shooting a few things sometime this evening when the dust has settled and everything's back to normal.
Is this ever going to support Windows x64?
No. It uses Resource Hacker (just like XPize/Flyakite/Bricopacks), which doesn't support 64-bit binaries, and is unmaintained. Until someone writes a scriptable replacement (preferably one that reads the same script format), for reshack, all of the shell patcher / dynamic "pack" installer thingies cannot support x64.
Edit: I also just noticed that when I lock my computer (windows key + L) the new 'locked computer icon' seems to chop off the beginning of the text. Just wondering the easiest way to fix this?
It looks like I got lazy and forgot to put the icons in the proper order when I was adding the optimized 32x32 bitmaps. It'll be fixed in then next revision. You can't reshack uTorrent, same reason as Opera - it's a packed executable, reshack won't touch it.

Is there Tango "Burn" icon ? :rolleyes: And mail icon too, not the Gnome one.
There's the icon for k3b, the primary KDE burning app, but I don't have it included (only at 16x16 for explorer-sidebar use). What do you mean by a "not the Gnome" mail icon?

Oh, it exists, I just didn't have it included because the patcher wasn't using it. That is the official (and only, really) mail icon for Tango... there's a slightly different version used in some other icons with it closed, but that is it.

Just wanted to say thanks first of all. I was half expecting something to go wrong, but it installed absolutely perfect. Great job.

Could you instruct me as to how I would go about keeping the original icons for the network status though. The tango ones, while nice, do not "light up" enough upon activity for me to notice. I assume I'd have to reinstall the theme, but where would I find these resources for the original, what would I name them, and where would I place them before reinstalling? Thanks, I hope I didn't confuse you. :unsure:

Also, does anyone know of a tango-like application icon for Foobar to match?

I have a LogonUI replacement I'm preparing, but I'll save screenshots of it until it's closer to being ready to release, just to not completely abuse my NW-attachment-space.

The resources for the original ones would be in the original netshell.dll and xpsp2res.dll, which would be in the "original" subdirectory of the patcher. There's quite a few of them, so rather than doing compiling instructions for that, I think I might just finally get around to convincing myself to tweak the problem away the best way I know how: to do it anyways, and think to myself: Wow, that DOES look better. I think I'll solve my "I don't want to make a fork" scruple by trying to submit it to Tango proper.

I don't know of a specific Foobar icon (a tangofied rat-head, or whatever that is). I'd guess the easy proper replacement would be to use the generic audio mimetype icon, or be slightly less tango-correct and use one of the volume/sound control/status icons, or portable media device (MD/iPod/DJ/Mixx) icons. If enough people pester me, I might get around to tangofying a rat head.

There is now an HTTP mirror available for the main shell patcher (on benpbrown.com, thanks to bobp's bandwidth generosity) for those who want a faster connection than DeviantArt can provide (which is in some cases, none), or just don't feel the burning need to waste DeviantArt's bandwidth.

Darkt.net can't host RARs or EXEs. Buggah.

      DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3

      Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
