Portableapps Menu Suggestions

One of the problems with auto-refresh occurs when you are using the menu with a large number of applications. This can cause a significant delay in being able to use the menu at startup. This is less than optimal when you get to work and need to get to your applications quickly. In a related issue, if you have just added one or more applications to your menu and you want to categorize it while you are thinking about it, it is easier to just initiate a refresh then and there. For me, having the start from a stored setup with a manual refresh, as is done in the R3x variants is one of the best ways to handle these situations. Of course, I remain open to other people's ideas!

But I had to "play" with it to make it work.

At the top of the CustomButton area, change:

[CustomButtons]
0=BTN_Eject

To this:

[CustomButtons]
0=BTN_Eject
1=BTN_Refresh

And then add the rest of your code to the bottom of the theme.ini:

[BTN_Refresh]
Height=42
Width=42
Left=8
Top=12
Font=Tahoma
Margin=33
ColorR=255
ColorG=255
ColorB=255
Bold=1
Italic=0
Underline=0
StrikeOut=0
Caption=
OnClick=pmnuitmOptionsRefreshAppsClick

Maybe it is clear to others how to integrate the code into the ini, but it wasn't to me.

BTW, thanks for the code! Very cool!
