Theme Switcher

Submitted by Perfectdark12 on December 9, 2008 - 1:29pm

I looked in the forums and all I kept getting was the background swapper.
Is there any way to switch the theme for the desktop like you switch the background?
I like the royale noir theme, but I don't want to go through the the trouble of switching it on every computer I use, obviously.
If this is possible lease tell me how.

Was wondering if anybody knew anything about this persons apps?

Are they portable?

Would they be something that could be posted here (though not open source)

Has anyone ever used them and is there any known issues with them?

http://www.roadkil.net/ is his website only posting the one link will remove if this is in violation of terms.

Thanks in advance guys!

Hi guys,

After much discussion and thought (yeah, right), I, with the help of a few others in the IRC chat room, have decided to create a mailing list to discussion sites with illegal portable apps and help to shut these sites down.

This is intended to be a collaboration between members of this site and others to stop these sites giving our sites a bad name. Users can get confused with these sites providing applications and the users are led to believe that this is legal and gives them false information.

For any users who would like to join us, we have set up a Google Group:

Email Agony (almost) Alleviated with PortableApps Thunderbird!:]

Submitted by aahhaa on December 5, 2008 - 12:00pm

Email archiving has always been a major hassle, and recently there have been some high profile examples of why you shouldn't leave your email on the office computer.

On the home front, I was very pleased to finally get several years worth of old business email off my aging desktop, in the easiest way imaginable.

Bypass workplace internet password

Submitted by thegoodstuff89 on December 3, 2008 - 6:50pm

hi there

i work for a company that has a password on the internet. when attempting to load a page, a password prompt opens up, asking for a user id and password.

some sites work like mapquest.com and wikipedia.org. however, when accessing such websites, the prompt shows up NUMEROUS times (at least 20 times) and after i press "cancel" on these prompts, the loaded page is usually distorted (lacking certain images and frames)

is there anyway to bypass this?

Need help with partioning for Qemu

Submitted by gregnorris on December 3, 2008 - 1:32pm

I wish to use Qemu (which is completely portable without KQemu) with a couple OSes I'll install to my Portable HDD (namely WinXP Pro and Knoppix) but, I'm not sure what format I should use with the partitions. I'd also like to be able to load the partitions on my home computer like normal OSes but, I can't figure out what kind of boot manager to use for it.
