Request Apps

Got a suggestion for an app that should be portable? Post it here.

This is another Idea On Where To Put The New Skin Tool Option

Submitted by Hackworth on April 13, 2009 - 12:35am

Ok here I go again with a new approach to the same original idea I mentioned in my last post.

Just a thought, I was looking at the main program that being the PortableApps platform taskbar window itself.

And I noticed that there was some unused space in the lower right area just under the search help buttons.

My first Idea was a bit too simple, and just too obvious I gather.

So back to the mind board I went and once more came up with this idea that may make a bit more sense.

Taskbar Add On for the PortableApps window

Just a thought, I was looking at the main program that being the PortableApps platform taskbar window itself.
And I noticed that there was some unused space in the lower right area just under the search help buttons.

So I thought why not add a real time clock and weather widget to the task bar..
The clock would sync with the OS’s built in time, and the weather widget would show the present weather conditions for whatever area the user is in.

FlightGear

From my experience...FlightGear is an excellent program...but doesn't seem to work portably (and requires admin privs to install). I'd like to see a portable version of it made. (And I'm sure many others would also)

Program: FlightGear

Rainmeter Launcher

Submitted by Devo on April 6, 2009 - 10:01am

First let me start off by saying that I already know Rainmeter is portable. The reason I am requesting a launcher is that Rainmeter is not suited for multiple screen sizes. I was hoping that somebody could make a launcher that could for example rename Rainmeter1280x1024.ini to Rainmeter.ini. This way the user could set up multiple ini's for multiple screen sizes, the launcher would determine what the host screen size is, and rename the appropriate ini so that Rainmeter would display properly. If I had any idea how to do this I absolutely would.
