Does the release of Vize mean a new STTP 6000? :p
Probably not - as per his post earlier in this thread, he's not planning on publicly sharing its code ATM, and we haven't done any sort of negotiations for private sharing. Patcher code isn't really the issue ATM though (seriously, one good night with a text editor is all I need - but I don't have the energy), it's having time to actually do icon assignments. Additionally, a pretty good bit of Vista's resources are stored in new places, and only using Vista on a regular basis (and as a primary OS, not just poking at it in a VM) is going to help me get a feel for where everything is, what's exposed, and where, and I'm not going to be able to run Vista until I have a new machine.

This project is effectively dead:

I don't have a legal copy of Windows Vista

I don't have a machine capable of comfortably running Windows Vista

I have a full time job that doesn't leave me in a mood for programming when I get home.

edit: and oh hey, if you want i can give u a vista legit key
It's not much a problem in getting a license, or spoofing one, but having a machine that can run it well.
And I can share Vize code if you go the C# way :)
Awesome :D - I've been loving Python, but I seriously doubt I'll have as polished of a GUI anytime soon. I'll have to think about it (what's to think about?!)...

hey vert just wanted to tip my hat to you (well i would if i was wearing one) and say a big thanks for the tango patchers you released for xp which were amazing. ive been running vista for about 2 weeks and really dont like the vista icons much.

i hope you find the motivation to carry on with the tango patcher for vista.

Wow. That's some timing. I actually just bought myself a Q6600 + 8800GT machine... so I at least have the power and compatibility to let me try Vista for a few rearms. I'm playing with the SP1 RC, and this time around, I haven't REALLY found anything yet that makes me go "GRR! ARGH!" - I'm even managing to find a few things I really quite like. I don't mind Vista's icon theme as much as XPs, but I am definitely missing my Gnome-icon-theme setup :laugh:

I've got at least a week off for Christmas. So... don't mark calendars, but I'm back on the case.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      Someone forgot to mention EDR in the title ? I think I will not click anymore on the articles written by this author. All are click bait.
    • Should Microsoft be forced to stop promoting Edge over other browsers?

      By FBSPL · Posted

      Browser vendors including Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Vivaldi have jointly written an open letter to Microsoft saying enough is enough regarding Edge being pushed on Windows users without consent. Microsoft makes it difficult to change the default browser, promotes Edge throughout Windows 11, and has made the uninstall process unnecessarily complicated compared to other apps. Does anyone have more details on what exactly the open letter demands and whether any regulatory action is being considered? Also curious whether this could lead to antitrust investigations similar to what happened with Internet Explorer back in the day. Would love to hear from anyone following this closely.
