+unabatedshagie Subscriber¹ Posted October 10, 2006 Subscriber¹ Share Posted October 10, 2006 I'm having a small problem with the media icons after installing this, they are all blank I have uninstalled the pack, rebuilt the icon cache. Booted into safe mode and installed the patcher from there, booted into windows and rebuilt the icon cache again but they are still blank. Anyone have any ideas?

Hmmm....I don't think htere is a specific Tango icon for .AVI formats. I'm not sure but this could be why. Maybe someone with more smarts like BobP or Vertigosity could answer more specifically.

Guest Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 You're right, there isn't a specific .avi icon included in the pack. I just used icontweaker to apply one, same goes for .mp3 Will this feature in future versions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigosity Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 There is mimetypes\video-x-generic.ico for video, although I've set categories\applications-multimedia.ico as the icon for Wimp's filetypes as it doesn't differentiate between video and audio.

Update Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 so when we gonna get us some new icons and update :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SooperDoode Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 so when we gonna get us some new icons and update :yes: I suppose when the Big V gets around to it. I'm honestly looking forward to it because I kinda wanted to see the unpatched explorer icons done (even though they aren't supported by Tango) but that might not even happen. Does this patcher even need to be released every month? It's so great already. Vertigosity, you deserve some wicked gift or award or something for your efforts!!! On a less suck uppy note, are the .AVI icons supposed to be patched? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigosity Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 I use the STTP on my computer using the Tangerine theme from Ubuntu. I love it, it blends in well with my Luna Element 5 VS and Ubuntu Firefox theme. I was wondering though, can anyone make a reshack patch for AOL Instant Messenger versions 5.0 to 5.9? If you could, that'd be great; I use AIM 5.9 instead of Triton (Triton's too ugly) and I tire of the AIM icons. I know there were some made for Gaim, so you could just use them./quote]I whipped out my old AIM 4.8 installer (I held out using it until the days of AIM 5.6 or so, then I switched to alternating between Trillian and GAIM), and added the main app icon - if all the registry entries, filenames, and resource ordinals line up, it should work on AIM 5.x as well. Of course, it's pretty much useless, since I haven't touched aimres.dll yet - that's a project in and of itself - take a peek at what resources are in it, and you won't blame me one bit for not touching it yet ;)I suppose when the Big V gets around to it.

Vertigosity, you deserve some wicked gift or award or something for your efforts!!!On a less suck uppy note, are the .AVI icons supposed to be patched? It doesn't really need a release every month, just every month that I've changed enough to make it worth releasing. I've actually been looking at file modification dates and writing up a more thorough changelog than I had in the past, and by my past standards, I actually did have enough last month to be worth it. I might be looking at releasing The Next Revision sometime later this week, although not today.Regarding .AVI icons: It depends on what their file type association is set to. If it's set to a something that's been modified to have a Tango icon, then yeah, it should be, but if it's set to something different, (like, for example, VLC), then no, it'd be set to whatever icon your media player set to it. Since the default on XP is WiMP, then for most people, "no, not yet" would hold correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+unabatedshagie Subscriber¹ Posted October 11, 2006 Subscriber¹ Share Posted October 11, 2006 Ah my bad, I just kinda expected there to be icons for media files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigosity Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 (edited) Yes, I know the hotfix from MS06-057 contains a new Fusion-managed comctl32.dll variant. It's in, at least for XP SP2. Ah my bad, I just kinda expected there to be icons for media files er... well, it should still have the default file-type icon for whatever media player you're using. just not modified or replaced, if it's not something the patcher covers.

The Regal Wind Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I whipped out my old AIM 4.8 installer (I held out using it until the days of AIM 5.6 or so, then I switched to alternating between Trillian and GAIM), and added the main app icon - if all the registry entries, filenames, and resource ordinals line up, it should work on AIM 5.x as well.

I've done a bit of snooping in aimres.dll meself, and it IS pretty nasty. I just wanted a patch for the main icon, the rest I'd just consider a bonus. XD So, when you release the patch, include the AIM thing or post it up here; I'd love to see what you've done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakfastclub Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Something i threw together for "vista drive".. regretfully, i will not be making matching icons for the original tango icon set, as i prefer the tangerine icons. Can some1 create this drive-meter-set for blue tango ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcm Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I made an iTunes icon to match the Tango theme.. what do you guys think? download here: iTunes.ico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regal Wind Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I like it, it's simple like the actual icon was. But it's not up to me, it's up to vert and (I think) Sooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 (edited) Vert, is it possible to include theme packs for every program into the installer, having it auto detect what programs you have installed, and then install the themes? I think this would be MUCH easier then trying to find every single theme for every program you own and just have it do it automatically. PossiBility? Also, don't you think we should start on Vista?

Update Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 For instance, I just ****ed up an Open Official install because I have no idea what "update images_industrial.zip with images.zip" means Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SooperDoode Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I like it, it's simple like the actual icon was. But it's not up to me, it's up to vert and (I think) Sooper. Heh, I have no control over icons or anything of the like regarding this shell pack or any other shell pack. I'm just a overexcited fanboy of Vertigosity's :p. I do like the icon though. It's pretty much exactly like the iTunes logo but jusat with the Tango CD and Generic Music icon. Great Job!!!! Now try creating one form scratch. It takes mad skillz (at least for me). Ugh, rat heads. For instance, I just ****ed up an Open Official install because I have no idea what "update images_industrial.zip with images.zip" means For OpenOffice, if you're patching the images_industrial.zip file you should have another images_industrial.zip file to replace it. That zip is basically the file with every image OOo uses. I've never used it on Windows so I have no idea how it works but I'd think if you had a replacement file you could just locate it in the OOo folder. Does that make any sense? I usually am a bumbling fool :p I don't know if Vista is even patchable right now. I mean, nothing is un-patchable (I think) but it'd probably be tedious to patch Vista with all of its complexity. It has stuff going on everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Update Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 No, just replacing the file doesn't work.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraftman Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Vista is completely patchable. You can open all of it's binaries in ResHacker. I installed RC2 today and extracted icons and such with ease. I need to try and patch some of the binaries with Tango. Maybe later.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SooperDoode Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 No, just replacing the file doesn't work.... Strange. I'm assuming (even though one should never assume but oh well) that you are running Ooo on Windows?Maybe some kind of Knowledge Base would have an answer. Vista is completely patchable. You can open all of it's binaries in ResHacker. I installed RC2 today and extracted icons and such with ease. I need to try and patch some of the binaries with Tango. Maybe later.. How are you liking it? I'm afraid my computer (which I proudly bought with what little money I had at Wal-Mart. Yay for poor people!) doesn't like Vista and I can't run it well but from what I did get to test I was actually quite impressed. Tango icons would make the whole OS look so much cooler :p. Awesome that you got it opened up and are patching stuff. I suppose I spoke to soon ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraftman Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I already formatted and uninstalled Vista (I installed it temporarily on my new PC, just to test, XP now :)), but there are quite a few new things. a) They use PNGs. There are PNGs in the binaries. Doesn't get much easier than that for patching! b) They use alphaBMPs. Microsoft uses mad-hax 32-bit bitmaps. Awesome as well! c) The new 256x256 icons work with ResHacker, as long as you don't try and view the 256x256 on its own. If you go save --> Icon Group, it will produce a perfect .ico. I actually have a PC with decent horsepower now (heh heh) so I might try my hand at Inkscaping. On the other hand... maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigosity Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 (edited) I totally haven't even bothered looking into how WFP has been EnhancedForMyProtection in Vista yet, myself; I know that in Beta 2, it wasn't exactly as it was in Win2k/XP. I really haven't been able to run Vista as my Primary OS yet, it's got some pretty bits, but every time I actually try to USE it it just gets on my nerves. Given that I have a "3.4" machine and no desire to spend any money on a Vista Ultimate license (and it would have to be Ultimate, since I love my VMs)... I'll be sticking with XP for quite some time. Eh, I'll update the wording of the OOo 2.x installation sometime. Basically, by "update," I mean, take the files extracted from Lokheed's archive, and add them to your own, not overwriting. You'll need to restore your original; I think the OOo 2.x installer will let you do "repair" installs, and heck, 2.04 is out anyways. Edit @ BobP: Hah. I've used Inkscape pretty well on machines much slower than your "spare" machines. :rofl: Edited October 15, 2006 by vertigosity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Update Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Thanks vert, I'll see if that method works.....so is it possible you can do this tango-applications installer with the normal one?
