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...

    • Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
