To save some loading time... Can I disable the portable apps picture before the app is starting? There is no need for advertising portableapps beacause I already advice everyone how great portableapps are.

You can by using an INI file for each. Head to the AppNamePortable\Other\AppNamePortableSource directory for each app and you'll find a readme.txt that explains it and an AppNamePortable.ini as an example.
But disabling them won't save any time in launching. The splash screen runs concurrently with the launcher doing stuff. In many apps, they actually cover the fact that the launcher is doing a bunch of stuff (registry key backing up and replacing, environment variable settings, config file editting) and the fact that the app launches slower. In most cases, the splashes make the apps appear to launch faster (which is one of the major reasons for them). It's purely psychological, but it works.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Give us a way to either, put our own star up portable apps picture into there or skin it in some way to keep the Kewelness factor :evil:
My guess is that you would need to replace the .jpg in:
\FirefoxPortable2002\Other\FirefoxPortableSource\
called: FirefoxPortable.jpg
This is assuming that it in no way messes with Johns rights.
To be safe I would suggest that the new .jpg be as close to the original as possible [size, shape, color depth, dimensions, etc.] in case whatever launches the image has some rules we don't know about [John could explain better if this is needed or not]. You would need to keep the same name for the files unless you know how to change the "location information [?]
I now have no problems with the image myself,
[private joke for JH]
even if it "fades"

Things have got to get better, they can't get worse, or can they?
There's no limits on what the image dimensions etc must be.
Also, you must re-compile afterwards.
