My introduction and first question(s)

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum but have been using PortableApps.com since 2007/2008 (something like that, I think). So my first question is when are the developers going to make themes for the menu and/or icons official? I mean like making a section full of themes in one of the links at the top. IMHO, I think that it would make the program much more appealing and customizable. Sorry if someone else posted something similar, it's good to make sure. BTW, I've already searched for "official themes" in the search box and none of the entries were similar to mine.

Please take it into consideration, Thanks

Themes are a big part of the 2.0 release of the menu. It is currently in testing but word on the street is that it should be officially released hopefully by the end of the January, perhaps in February depending on John's schedule.

Themes in 2.0 are now much easier to create and package, made even easier by Solanus's (unofficial?) Theme Builder.

I expect you'll see much higher visibility of community created custom-content once version 2.0 of the menu is officially released.

Theme Builder status

Currently, it's pretty well functional for 2.0b5 of the platform.
There are a few bugs, not really showstoppers, but I don't want to put too much more work into it until I see what John's got for us in 2.0 final. Then I'll update it, and push to make it an official app.
I'm sure any themes made with my Theme Builder should work in 2.0 final in any case.
Check my homepage link for some themes and discussion of the current state of theming.

Thanks for the plug, Darkbee.

And CheZZy, welcome to the PortableApps Forums!

I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you.
