BlakByte Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 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. :blush: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/572421-shell-patcher-super-turbo-tango-patcher-6000/page/4/#findComment-589060820 Share on other sites More sharing options...

vertigosity Posted December 15, 2007 Author Share Posted December 15, 2007 AFIACT, the SP1 RC puts the OS into "for evaluation purposes only" mode - so, hopefully it uninstalls correctly or we'll all be feeling slightly less clever :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/572421-shell-patcher-super-turbo-tango-patcher-6000/page/4/#findComment-589063512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
piehouserat Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 apologies MrFuji lol yeah that little eval sticker is a little annoying and no known way of removing it on vista x64 although it can be done quite nicely on 32bit. ah well at least the patcher is continued :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/572421-shell-patcher-super-turbo-tango-patcher-6000/page/4/#findComment-589076028 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo11883 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Looks like a cool project, but... - Vista's icons fit more with Vista's design. - I use x64 Ultimate. Anyways, good work, my friend.

vertigosity Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 So, any news?Well, with the new year, my winter vacation ended and I didn't have anything finished. So, I'm back to not having the time/energy to finish writing a shiny new patcher (and there's long enough gaps between my programming sessions that I'll look at function definitions I've done, or even worse, half-done, and wondered what the hell I was thinking). I've been thinking about trying a slightly less ambitious design, which would let me get on with writing/drawing/making/converting reshack scripts and icons. I guess that means I ought to start playing with the Vize source, since it's open these days, but that means I'd have to set up a C# compiler, and maybe learn some C#. Not that hard in the grand scheme of things... X64 support is out of my hands - I don't have anywhere near the amount of programming skill it would take to write a piece of software to modify Windows binaries, and nobody else has written anything appropriate, that I can misappropriate. (really, I could have just said "not really" and been done with it... but then where would my passion for unnecessary verbosity be?)

ultimate99 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Ok, I installed it, rebooted, but nothing happened. :s Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/572421-shell-patcher-super-turbo-tango-patcher-6000/page/4/#findComment-589188070 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigosity Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Ok, I installed it, rebooted, but nothing happened. :sI'll go out on a limb and guess you right-clicked on it and selected "run as administrator"? That doesn't work, it resets the path to your home directory, so unless you extracted it there, you'll have to manually start a command prompt, cd to where you extracted it to, and then run hack-o-matic from there.

ultimate99 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 ^I didn't understand that. I have the folder extracted and I just doubled clicked on hack-o-matic and it gave me a menu in dos, so I chose #2, then reboot.

ultimate99 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 And you also have an English version of Vista? And does hack-o-matic give any output? Yeah, English. After executing hack-o-matic I get a menu to choose from, #1 being Gnome Theme 2 and #2 being Tango and the rest I don't remember. So I chose #2 and then goes through the process, and then at the end my computer reboots. That's it.
