PA.c Platform 'Next' personalized

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.

If you scroll your mouse over

If you scroll your mouse over the top right of the menu, you will see a white bordered box. If you click the box you can add a 48x48 pixel image to each different platform.

Not quite what you want, but it is a start. I can't see John taking his own branding off the menu.

Yeah it is one of those

Yeah it is one of those almost undocumented features that most stumble upon by accident, like I did.

It's not undocumented

There's a link to that on the download page under Support:
https://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.

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.
