List of "Launcher Only" releases at the cubegames development wiki

Submitted by BrianAll on June 11, 2008 - 3:56pm

I decided to reorganise the "Current Projects" page on Ryan's development wiki, which some of us use, and I added a section for Launcher only apps. Since the development releases page on PortableApps doesn't have a section for launcher only's, anyone that has released a launcher only app might want to post it here.
I went through the first few pages in the Beta forums and added four apps, just to get it started.

HERE is the list of Launcher-Only releases.

SourceForge.net is performing maintenance today from 11am to 3pm NY time. During this time most of the site will be read-only and logging in is disabled so we won't be able to make any releases. I'm also holding back the story asking people to nomimate us for a 2008 Community Choice Award because that whole system will be offline as well.

Naming Conventions of Pre-Releases, Development Tests and Forum Topics

It seems some people are having issues following the conventions we've been using for development tests and pre-releases, so I'd like to reiterate them for all.

The version of a portable app is always the same as the version of the app being packaged. So if you're packaging Acme 2.5, it's gonna be Acme Portable 2.5.

A Request and a Custom Skin (Blue Palm)

Submitted by DavidH613 on June 10, 2008 - 8:02pm

My Request: I would LOVE for PortableApps to let me customize application names and list order on the main menu. I ask for this because I would like to put my most commonly used programs at the top and I would like to be able to remove "PORTABLE" off the application names (because it seems redundant to have 15 cases of the word on a menu for a program with a big logo saying "PortableApps")

As a Freelance graphic designer I whipped up a skin for myself and decided to make it available to everyone:
