John, can the theme engine layer buttons?

Submitted by dragonmage on August 8, 2008 - 6:38pm

I haven't been around much. I don't have internet access at home right now, so I don't know what news there has been for the theme engine.

So I had what I hope is an epiphany. John you said you found a png lib to use, and that we could use alpha on buttons. Could those buttons be displayed over an area of the background that is transparent? If so, could you make the entire backgound transparent, and create a "button" that is the actual form and displays behind all other buttons. Alpha to the desktop?

Portable Apps Menu - Dock Icons

Submitted by Skeletorfw on July 31, 2008 - 6:40pm

I've been trying to find some PAM dock icons since I first downloaded objectdock about 6 months ago

In the end I gave up and made my own
There is one icon which is like the original icon, and one "aqua" icon

You may download them either as a package from this direct link:

Apps Version Checker

Submitted by REHVC on July 29, 2008 - 9:02am

Hi!

I have a question:
Is there or is it possible to incorporate a version checker for the apps that you have installed in the PA menu?
It would be nice to be able to check whether or not you have the latest versions of apps that you have installed, so you can update them easily, even after you didn't check the PA site for a while.
