[Shell Patcher] Tango Icons for Windows

[DigitalE]

Hmmm... What about a Tango skin for Trillian?

[Update]

Miranda is first on the list because it does not equal bloatware, which is what Tango isn't base off of ;)

lol who says its first ?

[DigitalE]

Who says Trillian is bloatware?

[vertigosity]

Who says either are even on the list?

For that matter, who says there's even a list?

Damn, this topic is better than the Jokes Board :p

Trillian is, in my opinion, a great multi-client IM app that requires very little setup and can be used immediately out of the box. Miranda is good but requires a bit of knowledge and stuff to get it up and running and sometimes can be very confusing. However, I've tried skinning Trillian with Tango icons and it's not impossible but very VERY tedious and difficult. Miranda is much easier to skin with Tango icons, I believe.

Anyhow, that's jut my 23 cents ;)

[Update]

lol nice quoting super really captures that point pretty funny, made me laugh :)

im just kidding with tirllian, though I would never go near trillian unless I was going to give it to grandma

better then most of the crap thats in the software sea, most definetly AIM

[DigitalE]

Haha.

I guess if I want a Trillian skin, I'll have to do it myself.

SooperDoode, do you think you could point me in the right direction to get started?

Probably the best/easiest/only way to work it would be to take a skin that matches your WM theme, grab copies of the icons, and start hacking away bits of skin with old icons, and copypaste the Tango stuff in place. I think the protocol icons may be managed seperately, or at least skinnable seperate from the main skin, but I don't remember - it's been 2-3 years since I stopped pirating Trillian Pro in favor of Gaim :shiftyninja:

How about cards ?

Gnome-cards

The images are all over the place. SOme exist in the actual trillian.exe, some are in the images folder and so on and so forth. If there is a folder for Trillian it'll have images from some part of the app in it. It's extremely difficult to change those icons and I believe Cerulean studios made it that way for a reason, those evil dudes. I'm still peeved that they haven't given the tiniest bit of info on how Astra is coming along. I too have moved to GAIM now. I'm mainly on Linux now anyway if the damn thing will actual work properly for more than a minute.

Yeah, considering the anti-piracy checks, and the auto-update abilities, it probably downloads a new version of itself - but that's only an issue if you're trying to hack the images in the binaries themselves. Making a skin for Trillian is the reverse - you'll be spending all day hacking XML and images, but to get and replace them all you have to do is unzip.

Does GAIM support the MSN protocol?

If it does, then I'll just switch to that :)

Are you using 1.5.0? You've got to be using 2.0beta3.1 or newer (2.0beta5 is out); MSN changed something and it broke older versions of Gaim.

That would do it. I have 1.5.0. I just downloaded the first thing I could find :rolleyes:

I'll get 2.0b3.1

My iColorFolder skins for Industrial and Gnome are up on my BobP's site. I can't call their inclusion in the patcher done without 'em, although that's not really of much use to anyone else without this month's patcher revision. No, it's not out yet :rofl:

It's out! I've been waiting for 2.0b5. Downloading now.

Can't wait for the November release of Tango!

On a side note, I made some of my own modifications to the iColorFolder Tango thingy... so that not only are plain folder colors selectable, but also a bunch of blue emblemated folders created/modified by me. (Some of the same ones I released earlier as icons.)

lol, yeah, I'll get 2.0b5. For some reason I just read "2.0b3.1" and didn't see what you had in parentheses there.

The November revision is out. It's only up on tango.benpbrown.com right now, as DeviantArt seems to have broken their file submission system, and I still need to get around to picking a new host for darkt.net (I'm lazy, I know).

Changes: Adds Gnome-icon-theme2 and NLD10 Industrial as base icon themes; minor resources changes otherwise. Patcher code (installer only) has been extended to allow for user-supplied custom resources, and command-line selection of icon theme for silent operation (see FAQ for more information).

Barring anything terribly new and interesting from the upstream developers, this will probably be the last major revision to the patcher. I'm still working on my card set, but it needed some major revisioning from that concept shot earlier and it's not done yet; but when it is, there'll be a revision for it. I'm not buying two copies of Vista Ultimate (I'd need to, to get some of the functionality I have out of XP right now), so for those of you hoping for me to announce a Vista version, you may now be disappointed.

[Mutal1sk]

Legend man, will update now :)

The November revision is out.

Thanks a million!

(must install it now)
