PortableApps.com Firefox Persona

Submitted by OliverK on December 23, 2009 - 1:10am

I'm doing this as a blog post because I can use full HTML :) Recently, I discovered Firefox Personas. Because I have next to no life, I decided to make a Firefox Persona for PortableApps.com. Here's a mockup of what I got done:


Configuring Geany to Have (And Use) Spell Check

Submitted by OliverK on November 30, 2009 - 2:14pm

So, I was going to write a speech, and I really like using Geany for all my writing needs. However, my spelling is horrendous. (Its a confirmed fact on IRC, ask just about anybody.) So, I needed spell check. How to go about it? Well, here we go:

  1. Download the plugin package from here. A direct link to the package you need.

Hi guys. I've been saying I'll update this or that that. I'm making a post so people can correct me if I'm wrong or if I've forgotten anything.

lately, I've been making some userbars. And siding. And doing school. I emailed John about the PortableApps.com user bars, but it seems I shall have to hunt him in IRC. Or twitter him . . . .

K, for what you guys really care about.


UPDATE: Theming GIMP Portable

Submitted by OliverK on October 22, 2009 - 2:00pm

Simpler way, with no launcher hacks:
Open GIMPPortable\App\gimp\etc\gtk-2.0\gtkrc

Open your desired theme, and copy the text within.

Highlight style "msw-default" to the end of the file.

Paste in the code you got from the other theme file.

If you need a engine, copy it to GIMPPortable\App\gimp\lib\gtk-2.0\2.10.0\engines. Note that the 2.10.0 may be a different (depending on which version of the gimp you are using.

Done!


Theming GIMP Portable

Submitted by OliverK on July 10, 2009 - 4:03pm

I'm utilizing a customized GTK theme for the GIMP, called Murrina Night Orange.  A copy is available here, if you would like to try or see it. You'll need to replace "MurrinaNightOrange" with whatever the name of the theme is that you're trying to get the GIMP to run in. I've tested these instructions with GIMP version 2.6. These instructions apply exactly to package version 2.6.6.0.
Otherwise, think of it more as guidelines Laughing out loud.
Let me give you the usual caveats:

More Useful Code: Language Reading/Setting

Submitted by OliverK on November 21, 2008 - 3:32pm

Here's the code I used for PNotes/ATPad.

They set the language through a file name, not using the environmental variables or using international language codes.

GetAppLanguage:
                ReadEnvStr $APPLANGUAGE "PortableApps.comLanguageCode"

                  StrCmp $APPLANGUAGE de Deutsch
                  StrCmp $APPLANGUAGE en_us English
                  StrCmp $APPLANGUAGE es_la Spanish
                  StrCmp $APPLANGUAGE it Italian
                  StrCmp $APPLANGUAGE jp Japanese
                  StrCmp $APPLANGUAGE pl Polski

IntelliLaunch Binaries :D

Submitted by OliverK on November 7, 2008 - 11:21am

Hookay, I've created binaries for you guys. Course, only certain people are going to read the blog Laughing out loud So only a few are going to know.

Alright, I've tested most of the stuff. Registry is checked and config is checked. Now, I'll let you decimate what's left.

A long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away . . .
Okay, so you are asking yourself, "Just what the chicken finger is IntelliLaunch? Why the seashore do I care about it?"

IntelliLaunch was a couple of things. A challenge to myself to see if I could actually pull of something this complex.
Most importantly IntelliLaunch is a end-user program portabilzer. It is a no-compile, INI configured, PAM compatible shell(?) program.

By configuring the INI properly, you can portablize almost any program.


Project Status Report.

About PNotes and ATPad.
PNotes
The new development test is going to take a bit while I rework the launcher structure. I'm adding in the language support that was broken in 4.0 and then I am working on the new ini file structure. I've also fixed the misspelling. If you really want to test it via the PAF structure, you can just drop in the new PNotes 4.5 binaries. Old notes/settings will be okay.

I do plan on making a dev test available for the Release candidates. However, I can't guarantee that I'm going to make dev tests for the test releases.

------appinfo.ini
*Data
---configuration.ini
