PortableApps.com Platform

I realise someone must have done a theme that looks all plain like Windows 2000 but what I'm wondering is if there is a way to simply strip away the theming that comes with the Portable apps menu and let the boring old grey widgets show through?

So it isn't theming I'm interested in so much as stripping the menu down to the bare essentials. Any ideas?

Hey All

I am using version 1.0 with Mod30. didn't even realize what the wallpaper swapper did till saw it mentioned in the v1.1 release.

Checked out the old Mod30 thread and found the only difference was in the image file name.

but it does not seem to work!
do I need to have privileges for this to work either for the Mod30 or the PAMv1.1?

If it doesn't work for the Mod 30 but will for the PAMv1.1 I have a second question.

How do I add a personal picture to the menu for the new 1.1 version of the menu?

While I like the look of the PA Platform and some of the features such as integrated backup, eject, etc. I have found that ASuite is much more flexible and useful. You can add any app to the menu you want in any order. Group apps together any way you want. App EXEs do not have to be adjacent to the ASuite app, you can "launch" any extension type from any directory even those not on the USB drive. You can even set customized parameters to use when launching an app as well as set any icon you want.

Hello.

I just wanted to thank you regarding the introduction of the eject functionnality. I used the Platform 1.0 for a while and was a bit annoyed that such a feature wasn't available, so I switched to Portable Start Menu from another developer. At the moment I think Portable Start Menu has the most user-friendly and most efficient eject feature from all the portable application launchers.

I searched but I could find a forum topic dealing with localisation mistakes so I created one. People should post like this:

Some programs are compiled with ridiculous descriptions in the "Internal Name" of the program Properties, which is what Portable Apps seems to display. It would be nice to be able to easily change the displayed name if required.

Hello,

I have always update all the portable appplication program when was come out, now it's stay the possibility just to make the update of the platform 1.1 without need to re-install all the programs ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi John

First of all thanks for releasing V1.1 of the platform.

Would it be possible to add a sticky in this forum (or the main platform page) that addresses the following?

1) Which versions of the software are included in the suite(s). I.e. the latest or the versions at the time of release?

2) What mods/betas V1.1 replaces. It might seem obvious but there seemed to be many mods out there to fill the gaps waiting for the release of V1.1.

3) What mods are still supported/compatible with V1.1

is ther any way of portsableapps menu using custom locations. ie music folder in the root of the drive instead of in documents folder? reason for asking is my car head unit reads the mp3s off my pen but cant see them in folders more than 3 deep ie root\music\artist\album but it cant see root\documents\music\artist\album
