1.6.1 Suite themes

I just upgraded to the 1.6.1 Suite and I see in the PortableApps.com's DefaultData folder multiple Themes. How do I switch from the Default red theme to a different theme? There is nothing in the PAM's Options menu to do it and I didn't see anything in the .ini files indicating which theme to use.

2.0 Only

That feature is only in the 2.0 Beta release. 1.6.1 was built off of it, so they were inadvertently included. You can either install the current 2.0 beta or just ignore them.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Ok

Ok, so I'm not missing something, I've found an Easter Egg. Shock

After I backup the Default red theme's images I will probably set up a cmd script to manually overlay the Default theme's images with those from the various alternate colors. I could do it manually but what's the fun of that? Smile

Thanks for responding John.

Upgrade_change_downgrade

try this:
update to 2.0 beta,
change theme,
install 1.6.1
Surprise!

Worked for me.

Sometimes making love is just not enough, you have to step it up!

The KISS approach

This is the approach I have set up. Rudimentary but functional.

Theme.cmd

@Title PAM 1.6.1 Theme changer&@echo off
:: Locate this script in the \PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\DefaultData\Themes folder

if not exist Default_Bkup\*.* xcopy Default\*.* Default_Bkup\ /s /y

:MENU
echo.
echo  A. Black
echo  B. Blue
echo  C. Bronze
echo  D. Green
echo  E. Red
echo  F. Silver
echo  G. Violet
echo  H. Blue Palm
echo.

set /p Option= Enter option: 
if /I "%option%" == ""  exit
if /I "%option%" == " " exit
if /I "%option%" == "A" xcopy Black\*.*  Default\ /Y
if /I "%option%" == "B" xcopy Blue\*.*   Default\ /Y
if /I "%option%" == "C" xcopy Bronze\*.* Default\ /Y
if /I "%option%" == "D" xcopy Green\*.*  Default\ /Y
if /I "%option%" == "E" xcopy Red\*.*    Default\ /Y
if /I "%option%" == "F" xcopy Silver\*.* Default\ /Y
if /I "%option%" == "G" xcopy Violet\*.* Default\ /Y
if /I "%option%" == "H" xcopy Eds\*.*    Default\ /Y
exit

The Blue Palm theme is from here: https://portableapps.com/node/19338

"Simple"

I think I'd just say that the simple way of doing it is to tell people to copy the files into the Default folder...

The Red Theme

To create the Red theme copy the basic Default to a new folder named Red and then delete the menu_icons subfolder from it.

As I said, rudimentary but functional.
