Post Your PAM Mods - Posts Only No Discussion

1. Post only a line or two about your mod\mods.
2. To avoid multiple posts if you have multiple mods, link to a page listing your mods.
3. NO REPLIES, this will allow the authors to come back and edit their posts when they update or add mods.
4. If you must comment use the Post Your PAM Mods Discussion Forum again to keep this one manageable.
5. Try to keep your posts to only 2 or 3 lines so the thread doesn't get unnecessarily lengthy.
6. Authors, edit your original posts instead of adding replies.

Post Your PAM Mods - Discussion

Ok.

I love PAM. But it just isn't functional enough.

now I know that many of you have made mods for teh PAMorz and was wondering if you would be willing to share them with us in an "Official" thread.

This way, we won't have to go rooting around in numerous threads to look for mods.

I was sort of envisioning something like SmithTech's Post Your PAM Themes thread.

This will be the "discussion" Thread.

(Kudos to SmithTech for inspiration)

Search Box

One of my favorite features of vista is the search box at the bottom of the start menu. If there was one at the bottom of the PAM we could do the following.

  • Type the name of a program and have it run.
  • Search the drive from the PAM.
  • Search the PA Forum even?

Racing against the clock!

I searched the forum and found only one other thread that asked a similar ?, but not the same one.

I would lik to have the PAM stay open after clicking an app to launch it. I always feel like I am racing against the clock if I want to launch 2 or 3 apps, I either maybe get to 2 if I am fast enough before the menu fades, or I have to relaunch the menu to start each application.

Is there some setting I can change to allow for the manu to remain as long as my mouse hovers over it?

Adding non-portable apps that run without registry entries

Submitted by NTHRIWZ on June 12, 2007 - 8:25pm

My file manager of choice is ZTree and it runs out of a sub-directory without needing registry entries.

I know I can simply make that sub-dir a child of the PortableApps sub-dir and it'll work but there are several other helper EXEs in the ZTree sub-dir that show up in PAM that I don't need to have listed.

Seriously dodgy problem

Firstly I am not happy posting this in the open forum I would have prefered a private email with the developer for reasons that will become obvious but as there is no email support here goes.

Portable apps menu CLOSES my F-prot anti virus real time protector DOWN on launch from my USB pendrive.

I am running F-prot for Windows version 3.16f on WinXP SP2 with all updates on an K7S5A based machine with 512Mb RAM and Athlon 1800XP CPU.

This is not an isolated abberation but occurs every time I launch Portable apps menu

PortableApps Menu not displayed correctly...

Submitted by helmon1 on June 7, 2007 - 9:24pm

Hi,

My PAM isn't displayed correctly. All the buttons (e.g. the programs list, document, video, help, search buttons) are all coloured black. When I hover over the buttons it changes into the colour that would normally be correct. It also doesn't look to be the 'New' PAM. In the screenshot the 'New' PAM has icons for the documents, etc., and more importantly it has an eject button too.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks.
