Hey everybody,
I'm wonderering if there are any portable applications around that opperates the same way that wallpaper swapper does?
wich means:...Load a preffered wallpaper on USB insert and reload original wallpaper when ejecting your USB.
Is it hard to build a similar portable appliction, or could any one tell my how to do that??
I know that some of the PAM mods have the same functionality. But i'm running CeeDo from my 160GB 2.5"HDD and i'm not interested in installing PortableApps or using U3 since Ceedo & Argo installer clearly works fine with the larger design applications like Rhino3d and other drawing applications tham i'm using?
yours,
Jeffrey

Unfortunately it doesn't appear the patched R34 Mod does
EDIT: Scratch that sorry. Just found instructions on PTC site and does work. Still, though I like the mod and evidently use it, I look forward to shedding it in favour of PAM 2.0

Just a little thought, I think it would be nice to allow the setup of different wallpaper files on certain screen resolution (or ratio).
In the case I currently have a 1280x1024 (5:4 ratio) wallpaper currently set-up on my PortableApps-enabled thumbdrive, then plug it in a computer with a 1440x900 (16:10 ratio) resolution, the wallpaper will be all stretched up.
I think the best solution would be to put a small check which determine what is the current resolution screen ratio (ie: 1440/900 = 1.6, 16/10 = 1.6) and change the wallpaper depending on this.
(ie: choose portableapps_wallpaper_16-10.bmp for 16:10 screen ratio, choose portableapps_wallpaper_5-4.bmp for 5:4 screen ratio, etc.)
I've already implemented this in the 2.0 Pre-Alpha I've been working with hardware partners on. It supports a 4:3 and a 16:10 wallpaper and selects the appropriate one automatically. I'm backporting it to the 1.2 bugfix release that I hope to post a pre-release of soon.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I hope to see it soon as you can provide

Sorry everybody,
All great that the wallpaper swapper is build into the PAM, but i wrote that i'm not interested in installing the portableapps menu.
Allthough its a great menu, it wouldnt let me allow to use the freedom of the ArgoInstaller that's build in CeeDo Enterprise.
Just wanted to know if there are (None U3) apps that works in the same manner?
Sorry if my first post wasn't clear enough.
yours,
Jeffrey
