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...

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
    • You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
