PortableApps.com Platform

Hi. I've tried for 3 hours now to change the icons in the menu withouth success. I've installed the PAM Mod34 and created new categories in the menu by right-click/Category/Add Category. Then I tried to change the icons of the new categories with right-click/Category/Edit Category/Change open icon. But whatever I choose the icon doesn't change. I've also tried to change them manually in Desktop.ini, PortableAppsMenu.ini and theme.ini but absolutely nothing works. Can anybody help? Thanks.

Hi all! I make cool (IMHO) skin for PortableApps Menu. Please make backup of your old folder named PortableAppsMenu to be able to restore original theme.

UPDATE: And new skins for PA.c platform version 2!

Hey,

Just wondering whether anyone happens to be using the recently released version of Stardock's IconPackager? I was one of the many people who found IconPackager was messing up the icons in the PortableApps menu, at least in Vista x64, so I stopped using it (PortableApps clearly being the more useful of the two!). Any idea whether this is resolved in the latest version?

Thanks!

How do I make Smithtech portable menu my default menu on startupin portableapps

Hey, folks. I've searched and searched to no avail, so I thought I'd ask here. I would like to make the portable apps menu taller, so more application icons show without scrolling. Is the size fixed, or could I add some lines to the PortableAppsMenu.ini file to accomplish this.

Thanks for your time!

I have been using Portable Apps on a flash drive for some time. I had problems with my laptop, and dreaded going through the whole setup process for so many programs again. Then I thought, "Hey, I wonder if I can use Portable Apps on all of my PCs?"

My thinking is that all I would have to do to duplicate my programs and data on my different machines is to copy my flash drive contents to/from those drives. (I realize this probably sounds stupid to some of you, but that is why I am doing the asking rather than the answering!)

Hi

Could someone please add info on standard folders (Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos...) being read-only to the FAQ?

Hi, I am using Mod R34.
I was wondering if it is possible to use a personal picture with this mod.
I have used several themes and every time I hover my mouse over the top right I don't get the box to display the picture like the official version does.

Thanks in advance,
Brian.

Can I use a download manager to download openoffice? The server must support 'resume'. Does anyone know if the server supports this facility.

Thanks

Hi,

Can openoffice portable be run effectively from a CD-R.

I intend to download onto a flashdrive from a friend's faster (broadband) machine, then to install to a CD-R.

If CD-R media are not suitable, please can you suggest a CD media that would be more suitable.

Thanks

Ps. Can we change our passwords to something of our choice?
