Vista Icons Pack v2.0 Ultimate - System Patch


Recommended Posts

I would like to give an advice for the system tray network icon.

I got a DSL Internet, so when it connects, there is a radiowave like sign in the tray, which is gray in color, it's hardly visible on a black color taskbar, & most of us using vista skins are probebaly using dark color taskbar. I found some icons in your Vista Ultimate pack 2.0, these....

can u change the system tray network connection icons to these insted

also, on a dark color taskbar, the connected network blinking icons, those 2 computers are not visible, in default XP they were in blue color, it would be a lot better, if u could change the blinking color of these icons to dark blue, like that in vista my computer icon (the monitor) that would be visible everywhere, or even better sky blue

I also, m in favor of the logo change

As for this XP logo, sorry guys. This my mistake :blush: Will be repaired in next version.

In VIPv2.1 i make monitors blinking (not very bright, but enough to see status).

About Wave-icon: this (gray) icon is right from Vista (as i remember FebCTP) and I think it must be looks great with black bground

ok, the waves should be the way they are, & the monitor, better make it blinking blue, that would be clearly visible

Hye, I have made some file types & folder icons for vista, they are not much like the original, but they match nicely, do u think, they can be bundled as another pack with this pack, if u want, i can post a preview here

I plan to make Folder Pack (Include folders for various needs).

Post a preview here

the folders are made, depending on the application i normally use, while some are made seperate, i used images taken from your vista icon pack 2.0

I don't like the idea of putting the logo inside the folder doors

about the network icon in the system tray, it's all black in any black color taskbar. Can u plz make it, blink blue like previous windows XP inbuilt it's quite confusing

i rezhacked that and the dll file with the wireless one. Much better now :D

If you know what you're doing, i'd recommend just fixing that yourself.

Ok, you'll need to open Netshell.dll (in windows/system32) in resource hacker and locate icon 216-223 (i think theres on or two in there that you dont need to change) and you replace them by right clicking on the "1033" and choosing replace resource.

When you're all done, save-as to somewhere in your root cdrive or whatever. Boot in safemode and replace the original (after backing itup, if you dont trust yourself)

Repeat the same procedure for xpsp2res.dll for the wireless icons (34-57 i think)

Enjoy, hope it works out for ya....

@kudesnik

any ideal on a time frame for the updated system patch since 5365 has been released?

and about the network icon blinking in the taskbar tray it needs to be a color (the one blinking) that will be visible in blue,green,silver ect... because this is a xp system patch and lots of people still use the default msstyles sometimes such a s the royale theme and luna's 3 colors and not always a blackish vista theme i know i do when i'm tired of looking at a theme color plus there are dozens more themes out there that people use with these color types and if there like me they love the new icons but just want them to fit in.

thats just my take on it tho other than that its one of the best system patches i ever used with 0 problems.

Thanx!

I have no Vista 5365, but when I have it, will make update for VIPv2. But I think it will be over 2-3 weeks (I really don't know).

About monitors... will make it like in 5365.

But I use VIPv2 with blinkin monitors with Royale theme and I see everything...

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
