General Discussion

Not sure if it's a request but I'm a big fan of this site and I wonder if there is an actual Windows XP theme made after portableapps. Like the colors are Red and White, and the start button can be the symbol.

Any chance it could happen?

Is there any way to disable the splash screens? I understand that for some there's useful information that scrolls by, but for the most part it just seems like shameless marketing and I find it unnecessary.

Thanks!

I have recently purchased a portable hard drive as I am now working from home.

I can log into my company server from home having setup a 'connect to my workplace' network connection using Remote Desktop.

I was wondering whether, as from time to time I may be at a friends house and whish to check my emails whether it is possible to setup a network connection to my work server and remote desktop log in on my portable drive therefore avoiding having to set it up on every pc I might use.

Thanks

Daniel

Hi,

i think a warnining label in the portableapps menue if the backup is not up to date (so in the directory of the backup are not a backup newer as x days) would be good for people, who forgot often to make a backup.

of course should be able to deactivate the warning.

is that posible?

One of the most interesting projects here to us is probably the Skype replacement "Ekiga", no windows support yet though. There is much talk on the forums with regards to a skype replacement, i'd like to see one too.

There's lots of projects on this list, some we can use, some we cannot, however we can offer our support to them all.

Dig deep folks.

Does anyone know of any Xbox emulators that are both open source and portable?

Help would be appreciated.

Jeez just then I had a look at the bottom of the page and saw there were 25 registered users online and 1897 guests. Any ideas how to get these people to register without putting up nags?

i would like to report a cool little thing i found wich adds a drive under my computer

labeled: gmail drive

it allows you to connect and store files on your gmail account.
what is so good about this is it is over 7 gigs worth of storage and if somthing happens to your computer you can go to another computer and still have all your data.

Okay,

Jumping straight to the point, IMHO the request apps forum is in dire need of some reforms. To be honest, it's really getting on my nerves to see a request for Adobe Photoshop every time I look in there, to the point I've been avoiding that forum. There's already been around five requests for Photoshop, yet even more for other commercial, closed programs.

Is anybody interested in playing online games like Nexuiz or others as their ported (Logan Portable doing a lot of work in this area) with or against other portableapps users?
