Hello everybody. Recently I had created a primative themeing engine and along with it a website to go along with my program's name: PortableAppsThemes. However, with the release of PAM 2.0 on the rise, the use of my themeing engine has died. The website is still active though, so it's now open for everybody to share thier themes. Creating a themes is incredibly easy with the PAM Theme Builder, which is still in beta like most other ingenious programs and may never come out of Beta, i fear, also like other ingenious programs. Please feel free to brose the selection of themes I have there. I will post more with I have the time, but for now this is what i've got. Please check ouy the site and tell me if anything you think would make it better, whether something like this already exists, or if you have any complaints in general. Thanks for reading this peice of shiz. Hope to see you soon!

I can assure you, since I'm the one and only developer of the app.
Right now, it's going through the normal beta phase.
What I'm waiting for is some more feedback, BOTH positive and negative.
I don't want to release anything with significant bugs, and I'm open to any suggestions on improvements.
When I first started creating it, I thought it would take me until Thanksgiving to even make a functional version - well, here it is November 25th, and I think it's nearly ready for a final release
According to SF, I have 61 downloads of this version. I'd like to here more from some of them.
I know that the released version won't be perfect - no software ever is. But trust me, it's not as far away as you think.
P.S. Thanks for the compliments, and I'm glad to see another repository for themes!
I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you.
You're program is quite useful. Can't wait for it to come out in official release!!

You are not allowed to take the PortableApps.com branding and use it without permission, let alone modify it in the way you have; please rectify this.

Starport592, you should put your own unique logos etc on your website.
If you notice in my app, I didn't use the PortableApps logo or font or even part of the slogan in the header, and I got John's permission to use the icons and Chrome files - and that's only because they are absolutely necessary parts of the menu.
And in my site I use original logos.
But I'm sure that as someone who is handy with graphic editing as you can come up with something.
One favor I'd like to ask - you have a link to download PAM Theme Builder on your site. I appreciate the endorsement, but could you just link to my post here on PortableApps.com
https://portableapps.com/node/25260
but don't put a direct download link?
I'd like any potential users to be able to read my post before downloading.
Also, if I update the app, a direct link will be outdated, but a link to my post will allow them to download the correct version.
Thanks!

I'm terribly sorry for the logo and will change the url to the PortableApps Theme Builder. Sorry I haven't said anything or done anything for the longest time. Don't want to cause any trouble. I'll fix right away. Again, terribly sorry for the incredibly late responce. Also thinking about re-creating the theme changer I had originally. 1.6.1. still doesn't have a themeing engine, and .pathemes are just compressed folders so I thought well what the hell I'll just make the program extract the files and the 2.0 Beta themes won't look so bad on 1.6.1. I figured it'd work untill John releases a stable 2.0. Anyways, i'll fix asap.

We all understand the exigencies of real life. Thanks for getting to that - but can you double-check the URL, and make sure it points here
https://portableapps.com/node/25260
and not to the download?
Thanks

I've changed the link to go to your post instead of the download link directly. I'll double check but I'm pretty sure I changed it when I changed the logo. I'll go see.

Well. I plan to re-release my old theme switcher, this time with more functionality. However, I am running into a few problems. However, It should look much nicer and be a bit more user friendly now. I've put my old html skills to use and created hta programs. converted them into exes, and put all the real windows funtion into, yes, batch in silent mode. I have no problem with people seeing the source for this program, because personally it was just to cope with 1.6.1. having no theming engine, and once 2.0 comes out who's gunna use this thing? Well, anyways, i'll post more on my website.

I've released the new program. It's complete for download, and usable by anyone. It's originally for the new PAM 1.6.1. because that menu doensn't have a themeing engine like PAM 2.0 Beta 5. You can find out more here:
