aggrophobik Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 If I want to switch from the orange set to the blue set, do I need to uninstall/reinstall, or can I just re-run the installer choosing the blue set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SooperDoode Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 (edited) If I want to switch from the orange set to the blue set, do I need to uninstall/reinstall, or can I just re-run the installer choosing the blue set? I think all you have to do is just rerun the installer. I may be wrong. Vertigosity keeps updating the patch so it's better and better and doesn't have to do all the long drawn out patching stuffs :p ------------ I wanted to use Firefox 2b1 but keep a tango skin but couldn't find any that are compatible with 2.0.....so I just made one :shifty:. It's nothing special. I'm still working on getting absolutely everything skinned for Tango but it works nicely with 2.0 and keeps the native Windows style. Now, I know that Lokheed made a skin similar to this one but it's with the Tango set on a share-alike isn't it? heh. Here it is. Still in it's early stages of skinning but operable. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/37822964/ Edited August 11, 2006 by SooperDoode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be on dA now at this link. Sorry 'bout that! That damn throbber is going to drive me crazy. Anyone know a good way to convert frame by frame PNGs to animated GIFs?

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted August 11, 2006 Subscriber² Share Posted August 11, 2006 Id take a screenshot but I dont have time. Do you know the window that comes up when a file that isnt associated with a program is double clicked? The "Windows cannot open this file.... What do you want to do? ..... Use the web service or select the program from a list" window. Well the icon top left is an orange folder with a search icon. Im using the blue tango icons. Surely thats a small bug? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im using the blue tango icons. Surely thats a small bug? :) Yerp. That's a bug. I thought it was appropriate for the Win2k/XP style search, since that happens in a special shell folder-y thing, but the same resource gets used for both places. It also gets used for the saved-search filetype, which is what the icon is supposed to target, so I think it's staying for now.Edit: Er... yeah, it is supposed to be orange, though. Tangerine uses a yellow "saved-search" folder, and Tango itself does use an orange one. Edited August 11, 2006 by vertigosity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauseum Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 theres a blue one called "cairo VS" which is basically the same but not as glassy, but the window borders are the same but blue, it was on deviantart but I can't seem to find it now, ill upload it in a sec http://rapidshare.de/files/29004826/CairoVS.zip.html It's totaly different from the other 1 in many ways.

schaggo Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Both VS are great. Used Cairo and Human back in my Ubuntu days... But to stick with the topic: thanks for the Tango Icons. I love them. Same as with VS, first thing to do after a Ubuntu install: get the Tango icons... hehe... They are almost as great as the ones from Bluecurve found in Fedora Linux. Anyway, questions: 1. In the full start menu every icon gets replaced, in the classic menu not. Found a default connections icon not replaced in shell32.dll. 2. Outlook Express has modified button bitmaps in the prog but the icon is still default. 3. Windows Live Messenger didn't experience any changes. 4. The Alt-Tab icon for IE7 Beta 3 got replaced, all the other icons don't. A look at Iexplore.exe showed me only 1 replaced icon. Hope that helps... If somebody already posted my results, I'm sorry, too lazy to read through 55 pages... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiThIuM Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 k, just a quick recolor job in the trial version of stylebuilder. rpeview is below. i don't really like this version as of yet, which is why i'm not focusing on making the shellstyle work correctly. that's to do on your own. i'll be working on a thinner taskbar version in the near future for personal use, and ONLY with the permission of the author will i ever release it to the general public. here we go. human_blue.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might hold it back just to be nice to the porter, but you've already got redist rights. Anyway, questions: 1. In the full start menu every icon gets replaced, in the classic menu not.

I'll try to track it down and get that one fixed for next month.2. Yeah, that's normal. I haven't decided what to put on that yet. 3. WLM will have some minor stuff as I fold BobP's emoticon patcher and more Git2 icons in. Next month. 4. IE7 checks WGA, which means I'd have to commit to installing it on my host machine. I can't install it in a VM because I use a... different... version of Windows inside them :shiftyninja: Eh, I'll suck it up and reactivate System Restore sometime. 5. Arbeitsplatz.

Kraftman Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I'm back in civilization (again) and I see vertigosity has hijacked my tango.benpbrown.com (joking). Is the current XPize release stable, is it "the" Tango release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I giggle every time my silly American tongue tries to pronounce that :rofl: Literally, "work station"? Hmm... right, WGA. Got a brand new license with my new laptop, otherwise I, eehm.. wouldn't... eehm... anyway :D Are you in need of the EXE or the whole install? Can send you over the files, no problem for me. For the Arbeitsplatz, it would rather be workplace than work station, but plays too. As for the pronunciation it's something like "r-by-zz-plau-tz" ouch, must hurt a germans eye... :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiThIuM Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 i realized in the middle of the night about the whole gpl thing, i just didn't know if it applied to the whole ubuntu thing, but seeing as it's part of a linux distro, it would be that way huh? anywho, hopefully soon i'll be able to have the thinner taskbar version done, i think i may have to do a little work on the taskbar button sizing though, we'll have to wait and see about that though. anyways, i'm glad others out there like my little mod, after the thinner taskbar is done, it'll probably take the place of guiairb1 as my fav style. i'll keep everyone posted as i get going on this. cheers! -lith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
