One of my favorite natively portable freeware launchers, Cylog Toolbox, has posted a beta for their 3.0 release. I've been following them on Twitter, and they've done a lot of work on this major release.
Check out the list of new features (under Coming up in ToolBox v3.00):

Even the old version had some great stuff, like drag-and-drop shortcuts, switch to relative paths at the click of a button, change icons easily, wallpaper and transparency backgrounds, and support for multiple toolboxes.

Internet Exploder screws up Online PAF installers

I was using Internet Exploder on my school's PC to go over and download some portableapps, when something odd occurred. I went to install google chrome, and it asked if I want to open or save the program as normal. (the only good feature of IE imo) I hit open, and it said that it won't run because it isn't named online.paf. However, the problem is if you open a file in Internet Exploder instead of hitting save, it give it a random name before opening it, therefore breaking the installer.

Another reason to hate IE I suppose.

PortableAppsthemes on deviantArt

I've noticed a lot of themes for PortableApps menu and other portable launchers on DeviantArt So I thought I'd start a group **I don't intend on this being official PortableApps.com group** just thought it might be a good place to combine and gather the people who upload to DeviantArt into one gathering... I'd also like this to be a group where people can add themes/skins for Apps that are portable as well as the awesome PortableApps.com platform, geekmenu or any of the other portable platforms/launchers or menus..
