Beta Testing

I've made a bunch of themes that i think are pretty nice. They're a little ratty but I'm still working on refining my methods of making them.

previews and downloads of the themes: http://www.freewebs.com/tecknowiz499/index.htm

More and better themes will be coming out soon

Want to create your own?
I don't want to add dozens of applications to the already full suite of PortableApps.
However, I already have one program I live and die by, that I had on my USB key: Total Commander (http://www.ghisler.com).
It's the only Shareware program I will ever use.
I even registered it.
Go figure!
LOL

Anyway, once I had TC configured to run on a USB key, I wanted to add it to the PA menu, so I needed to find an easy way of doing this.

I've just uploaded a pre-release of OpenOffice.org Portable 2.4.1 This new release updates OpenOffice.org to 2.4.1.

As this is the first portable release in all the six official PortableApps.com languages for OpenOffice.org, we're running a pre-release first to ensure that installer, launcher and the App work properly (rather than being irresponsible and just rushing it out for the sake of having it done quickly.)

Application: ArkeType FileType Manager

To-Do

Alright, so we have a final Firefox Portable 3 test before release (which is happening worldwide soon) just to ensure our Session Store enable/disable is working properly. Grab it here:

https://portableapps.com/temp/Firefox_Portable_3.0_RC3_Rev_2_en-us.paf.exe

It installs over your existing FirefoxPortable directory. It includes a selection to enable or disable Session Store in the launcher that will fire up if you haven't picked before. It'll set it appropriately in your prefs.js. A utility to reset it is coming in the next 30 minutes.

Category: Utilities
Details: Its a BETA software to shut down, reboot, or log off inside Windows XP.
