Black Screen Since Recent Seamonkey Portable Update

Since the last two updates for SeaMonkeyPortable, it is opening up with a black screen. I experienced the same thing with latest updates to FirefoxPortable and managed to turn off hardware acceleration because of my familiarity with it and it's working now.

This is only happening on my Dell Optiplex 390. On my Optiplex 3010, this does not happen and SeaMonkey and FireFox have had no problems. Should I add a better graphics card? I've stopped using SeaMonkey for now.

Has this been reported already?

I'm going to post some modified theme files to my google drive. Here's the link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6Qo4xLF16dSem9BUlRhMnRrcWs/view?usp=sh...

Use 7-Zip Portable to extract the archive and paste the 'Graphics' folder into your own PortableApps.com folder in E:\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App
Then open Options and select you theme! The ones that are modified are:
Classic Dark
Flat Dark
Glassy Dark
Modern Dark
Smooth Dark (duplicate with less transparency than Modern Dark)

Problems with installing new themes...

Submitted by jd_blue on October 11, 2014 - 8:16pm

Hi,

I created a custom theme but I can't figure out how to install it. I put its folder into the themes folder but it doesn't show up on the menu for me to select it. I did search around the site and the website, but I couldn't find any information on it. I'm using the newest version.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thank you!
J.D.

Chrome Portable does not seem to have registered a class ??

Submitted by avmad on October 10, 2014 - 5:48pm

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I can't find a forum solely devoted to Chrome Portable.

I have Chrome portable configured to be my default browser [on my Windows 8.1 Dell laptop].

My problem is that clicking on certain links does not work correctly. The places this shows up most notably are: 1) links in Outlook and 2) links on the desktop, but the issue shows itself elsewhere as well.

You can see the types of error by going to my flickr album here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/julian-smith/sets/72157648629135795/

Can anyone tell me how to solve these annoying issues?

[feature request] PortableApps.com Updater - release notes for apps updates

Submitted by johnny808 on October 10, 2014 - 2:24pm

I am very grateful that there is the PortableApps.com updater to keep all my portable apps up to date.

However, time and time again I ask myself what is new, updated or fixed with the update, or what issue or security flaw is fixed. It would be really terrific if the the PortableApps.com updater could give us small release notes for each app update, kind of like the Apple Software updater does.

hello,

topic title says all,
is there a possibility to create new start menue entries in the platform for other portable apps which are not installed through the platform itself like the dropbox portable?
