[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows


Recommended Posts

Couldn't sleep, got bored, so I read some Doug Adams, updated my Myspace page, and fooled around in PSP a bit. I whipped up a Tango-ish "shared" icon overlay and battery 16-color bitmap (It's gotta be 16 colors, because Windows sucks like that.). If you guys like 'em, then I'll have an actual visible change to go with the script update later today :cool:

I like the shared overlay the way it is, however the 16 x 16 icon overlay you show above looks pretty sweet. The bigger ones a bit jaggy though. Are you going to change the Safely Remove Hardware button?
Yeah, it wasn't bad, but I just needed an excuse to be creative for once, and it WAS a Gnome icon, I figured it needed a Tango-ish refresh :) It DOES look jaggy, though, I'm still fiddling with the vectors.

And yes, the silly little box with an arrow pointing away from it is set to be replaced... with another silly little box with an arrow pointing away from it!

did you upload the newest release yet :D im still waiting
Uploaded!

More or less copypasted changelog from the last release:

"Major" updates to the un/installer script. Will now work with multiple instances of the same filename, be more reliable, and not need the post-install script that sucks and re-arranges your icons. I hope. I also got bored and cooked up a few Tango-ish icons, rearranged (and replaced a few more of) the info/warning/error icons so that they should display properly, as well as removing the LCID field from the reshack scripts - I think that'll work better on non-English languages, and if it doesn't, it doesn't work any worse on English and shaves a few bytes off, so it's a good thing anyways.

First of all awesome icon pack. :woot: Too good. Love it. :yes: Thank you.

Now can someone confirm if these icons in Control panel stay unchanged or were left unchanged only on my system? Thank you.

Not all icons are TANGOised... yet
Yeah, there aren't even really things that seem close to being right for those things yet - and there probably won't be. Tango's supposed to be an implementation of a generic icon theme based on their guidelines, that'll fit in decently with with other icon themes; we might have to wait for until Jimmac releases Gnome-icon-theme2 and/or Tango-yast before we get proper icons for OS-management stuff. And he just had a baby, so that might be a while. Tango itself had been doing releases once every one or two weeks for a while, but activity on their CVS server is pretty low and they haven't released anything in about a month... so we'll see!

You should have a Tango-ish icon on Power Options, though.

Thanks for your reply. Well I was just wondering still this is the best set of icons ever. Whish we would get more icon packs like that. :)

Hmm on Power Options you say any idea how can I change it and why it wasn't changed in the first place? I'm pretty anal about these kind of things. :whistle:

Many thanks again.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) and both trigger the dialog above.
