New Theme Help

OK, for the drive_space_slider bar you have to change its top and left positions. Depending on what PAM you're using, you'll have to dig under the Data\Theme directory until you find theme.ini.

It looks sort of like this...

[lblDriveName]
Height=13
Width=123
Left=8
Top=550
Visible=1
Font=Tahoma
ColorR=255
ColorG=255
ColorB=255
Size=7.5
Bold=0
Italic=0
Underline=0
StrikeOut=0

[lblDriveSpace]
Height=16
Width=132
Left=123
Top=548
Visible=1
Font=Tahoma
ColorR=255
ColorG=255
ColorB=255
Size=7
Bold=0
Italic=0
Underline=0
StrikeOut=0

You have to change the Name and Slider Top and Left positions to fit in the box on the background, fiddle with these values until you're satisfied.

I've never really dug around the original PAM as too much of it is hard coded. So sorry but I can't help you if you're using it. (I might install it when I get home and do some exploring around it; then I'll get back to you).

BTW, I'm using the R34 MOD_Patched from PTC's site. Oh, and according to the guidelines I have to mention that it's an unofficial fork of PortableApps.com and it's not supported by this site.

And as to why there is the white space around the borders, you'll have to deal with transparency. On GIMP, the background/layer is transparent if you see it checkered white-and-grey, not just plain white.

It's the right size (436 x 603), but you made the actual colored part only 410 x 572, and you have a white border that's actually part of the picture. WYGIWYS!

This can be done with the official release of PAM.

It's really not as complicated as mikaeel.ghany indicated for the official PAM. So long as the places in your image line up with the corresponding ones in the original, the drive space slider should work fine. Don't worry about theme.ini.

I suggest you start from the original background.jpg file included with the menu.
Use GIMP or a similar program that supports layers.

Leave the original image as the base layer, and add a new layer to start building your new menu image on.
That way, you can adjust the transparency of the top layer while you are working to check every once and a while and make sure that everything lines up.
Once it's done, make the top layer not transparent so you can't see the original layer, and save.

Also, you will need to change the color of background_top.bmp - just make sure the pink parts remain the exact same shade of pink: #ff00ff.

P.S. The files you need to alter are:

PortableApps
   +PortableAppsMenu
       +App
          +Default Data
              +Theme
                  -background.jpg
                  -background_top.bmp
                  -drive_space_slider.bmp

for the background and stuff.
Icons are here:

PortableApps
   +PortableAppsMenu
       +App
          +Default Data
              +FolderIcons
              +IconTheme

but icons are trickier...
