1.0.0.32 Up
Added most of the theme layout to the theme.ini
Added preview picture to options window and preview.jpg
Should be fairly compatible with the themes for PAM as well as PortableApps Menu Mod r15 - *FINAL*
Check the default theme to see what works.

When I delete 2 apps (enough to make it so the scroll bar would disappear), I get errors. 'List index out of bounds (-1)', 'Scrollbar property out of Range'. Also getting 'Cannot change Visable in OnShow or OnHide'.
I can't seem to get AutoRun on start working (w or w/o arguments). The autorun exit works though.
The little SmithTech Icon that should appear over the Start button ends up hiding my Start button. My task bar is stretched so it has 2 levels, not just 1 like default Windows.
Menu seems to have really slowed down in popping up after the icon in the system tray is clicked.
Path to theme appears to have a default name of 'iPhone'. I have a theme I found 'Vista' and the white text of the 'list buttons' don't work on white background. Is there a way to change the text color?
Unlike the icons in the 'button list' that update once you leave Options. The Menu Title doesn't update until its minimized.
1.0.0.33 is up
fixed the out of bounds error
fixed the autorun
changed the default theme back to default
the menu title now refreshes when exiting options
to move the button up edit the top value in the startbutton in the spm.xml, or to turn it off change the load value to false.

I know I've added several new options, and need to add them to the locale support.
I will get to it in the next release, promise.

It looks fabulous, and is almost functional enough to persuade me to switch from PStart.
The things I am waiting for include:
~Transparency in the menu itself, something my customized version of NeoRame's Zarthwork's theme is dependant upon.
And:
~Ability to change the icon in the header of the menu.
I like the "Edit Folder" context menu you created for the folders, and was wondering if you would make the same thing possible for the applications, where, say, I could right-click on the app and click on "Edit App" to be transported to the applications section of the Advanced Options menu, where the app that I had right-clicked upon would be selected.
Thanks for creating this app, you're doing a great job.

For the icon, all you have to do is drop a title.ico in the theme folder.
For the transparency, its fixed in 1.0.0.35
For the right click, I'll work on it for a future release.

Sweet, thanks a lot.

Also going to add support for a preview.bmp so the transparency shows in the preview.

Thanks for making that theme, I ended up making a Gray Version of it for my own personal use, but you are free to use it however you want.

When we update to the next version, rather than inputting all our applications into the new menu, can we just keep our old spm.xml, or is that being updated as well?

In most cases you can keep your existing smp.xml file.
I've actually been meaning to move it to the data folder so settings stay between updates, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Thanks, the archive worked. I haven't tested out any prior menu versions but here's a quick report:
1) Doesn't seem to scan the USB drive for PortableApps.
2) When I attempt to click on the scroll bar I get the error: "List index out of bounds (-16)"
3) Should the contents of the ZIP archive be extracted to the root of the USB drive? It's a bit unclear as to where it should be placed as there is no installer.
Thx, IP
I will put together an installer for it.
It should be extracted to
U:\PortableApps
If you extracted it to the root and all your apps are in U:\PortableApps that is why it didn't appear to scan, it only scans dir on the same level as the exe.
The error is apparently because you have less than 20 apps, I will have to set it so it doesn't show if there are less than 20 apps in the list.
EDIT 1.0.0.42 is up
I haven't put together the installer but the scrollbar is fixed.
once extracted the dir structure should be U:\PortableApps\SmithTechPortableMenu\spm.exe

Great. I'll try it out this weekend with your instructions.

having download issue
I was just waiting for the appscan to start trying yours out. I've been donwloading it just never really used it cause I had to add the apps manually. But now that it can scan, I'll sure be testing it.

I want that the menu would start when I plug in the flash drive. I tried to make a simple autorun.inf file but it doesn't show the icon and I get an error: Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item :/
sounds like the path in your autorun.inf is incorrect.

I want the menu to start when I plug in my drive.
the menu has no control over autorun.inf, windows reads the file and responds to the the contents of the file.
if it is not working there is something wrong with either the file or its contents.
or possibly windows but not likely.
what exactly is in your autorun.inf file?

[autorun]
open=Apps\SmithTech menu\spm.exe
icon=Apps\SmithTech menu\Data\Icons\Downloaded icons\USB.ico
action=Menu
label=U3 Titanium
it works fine with PAM, PStart....
spaces are not allowed in the open parameter of an autorun.inf file.
PStart and PortableApps do not have spaces.
Change your folder structure to Apps\SmithTechPortableMenu
Change the path in the autorun.inf to match.
