Change Wallpaper/Theme upon insert of flash drive

Submitted by BrennanU on August 21, 2007 - 12:13pm

I hope this is in the right spot to post this, if not feel free to move it. Does anyone know of an application that will change the wallpaper when I put my flash drive in the computer. Even better would be if it changed the whole theme. Anybody know of an app that would do this?

TIA,
Brennan

p-start and portable apps

Submitted by joemommapoo on August 21, 2007 - 10:10am

so I have been using (and loving) portable apps for over a year now. I have also been using Pstart for other portable software that does not work with portable apps. So, I have two start menus on my usb drive, portable apps and pstart. This is a pain, so I placed the actual "portable apps" exe files (ie firefox) into pstart and everything works just fine. My question is, when launching the "portable apps" in this way, do still leave no trace on the pc I am using, or do I need to lauch those apps within the portables apps start menu to get the security benefits?

As I am sure that many of you have guessed I am working hard on the next version of Toucan, however there are some decisions that need to be made so I thought I'd ask you all for your opinions on a few points.

Languages

Firstly I am overhauling the language system in Toucan as the one in 1.1 wasn't really fit for purpose, which is why there are no language packs avalible. There are three options as to how it could work,
