Theme Manager

Submitted by hIVESaRELaW on October 8, 2012 - 9:37am

Since I missed the custom theme functionality in the current Platform, I hacked my own one. It's beta state, but you are nevertheless invited to check it out: https://sourceforge.net/projects/papmodder
Well, it's actually not only a Theme Manager, the themes also can reference on little patches, which allow to change the size and position of labels and buttons. With this feature it is possible to reach maximum customization.

I'd be glad to get some feedback from you

Best Regards,

transfer of applikations from Liberkey to portable apps

Submitted by joergens.mic on October 7, 2012 - 6:18pm

I'm sorry if this question is already answered, but I didn't find anything.

I'm using liberkey a long time, but they stopped updating for a to long time now.
I want to transfer all my settings for several applications, for example libre office, firefox, thunderbird ..., to portable apps

How can this be done without problems?

Thanks in advance

How to excute a script when PortableApps start and stop

Submitted by Jacobo Belbo on October 6, 2012 - 7:30am

Dear All,

I would like to start a script when PortableApps start and another when Portableapps is closed

No matter if the usb key is removed without a clean close of PortableApps.

Example
At start time
execute "rundll32 OpenXX.dll DllRegisterServer"
At close time
rundll32 OpenXX.dll DllUnregisterServer

Thanks for your help

Jacobo

Sponsor or Donation?

Submitted by GrahamG on October 5, 2012 - 3:49am

I donated $160 (100 UKP) two days ago. Didn't notice the difference between Sponsor and donor. It would be nice to see my name in lights for three months (only kidding!). Nevertheless, a "thank you" email would have hit the mark.

Thanks,

Not a bad effort on the menu

Submitted by rectitude on October 4, 2012 - 5:42am

I like the update mechanism, but pity it cannot pause a download.

I also like the incremental updates, is it possible to download extension frameworks, templates and extra things for apps in future?

I also think the menu performs much better than in the past, no more buggy opening and closing, hiding and double click nonsense as before...

Maybe it will one day include a direct login to obtain favorites in the browser among other things, since I note mozilla spectacularly fails this test while opera only partially succeeds (reasons I will not give unless quoted).

File Association in 12.0?

Submitted by GrahamG on October 3, 2012 - 12:46pm

Just a quick question regarding integrated file association in PA 12.0.

Will this function in the same way that (say) eXpresso does at the moment, or will it be a bit slicker than that?

eXpresso works fine when you are opening a saved file and you then specify the portableapp to use for opening. eXpresso is no good at opening URL links in email messages - or at least that I can see.

I click on a URL link in Thunderbird and would like the link open in (say) my portable Google Chrome app. But that doesn't happen, instead the link opens MS Internet Explorer.
