I am using 5PCs in paralell to work on. On all PCs the Data is kept in sync by Dropbox.
I use 3 PortableApps installation on all PCs located in the Dropbox-folder.
* There is one PA installation with Apps specific for this PC.
* There is one PA kept in sync on all PCs to have setups off Apps like FileZilla accessible on all PCs
* There is a PA for testing Apps-usability also kept in sync on all PCs

I am working with PA to have the Apps separated from the OS.

Since I am using 3 or more PA-Plattforms on one PC I would like to have the menus personalized.
My wish: Where it says PortableApps.com in the head of the menu I would like to see some Text entered somewhere in Options like: "Test" "sync" "HP342" to distinguish the menus not only by colors.

There's a link to that on the download page under Support:
http://portableapps.com/download
Check that out, there's a lot of useful info there.

I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you.

That's why I added the

That's why I added the "almost".

It is not advertised as a feature of the menu, but instead is advertised under Support: a section where most people would head when they need help, not when they are looking for the possibilities of what it can do.

It's not a bug, its a feature.

That helps

Hi winterblood,
thanks for Info, Now I can Put an identification ther that helps!

By the way, I never meant to have Johns branding removed.
I just wanted to have a Textfield on the right side, approx where this Pic resides.

thanks anyway

Click on the Drive Space Indicator:

Click the Drive Space Indicator at the bottom left of the Menu, you'll find almost exactly what you've requested; it even changes the ToolTip that appears when you hover over the PA.c TrayIcon.
