Wallpaper Swapper

Submitted by chobo2 on October 20, 2007 - 8:05pm

I am sure this might have been asked before(but search results returned nothing) but u3 has a cool program that swaps the computers wallpaper with yours and when you leave unswaps it.

I did a good search of wallpaper swapper and I found on this site something about it being in the new menu but I could not locate it in the menu 1.1 once I downloaded.

This is one of the only things keeping me to u3 and I would like to change.

TurboCASH(Financial Software)

Submitted by thedogpoundpalace on October 20, 2007 - 3:34am

I would like to see a portable version of a financial software for use at home(i.e. something like Quikbooks or Quicken, etc.). The only open source software like this I have been able to find is a program called TurboCASH. If anyone knows of a better open source program for this purpose, I would love to know, and to see THAT program as a portable app on this site. Anyhow, information for TurboCASH as follows:

Program: TurboCASH

License: Open Source/GPL

Description: Financial software like Quickbooks.

[Self Promotion] Open Menu+ Portable

Submitted by guywithcable on October 19, 2007 - 8:46pm

I just finished Open Menu+ Portable. It's based on Open Menu+, an open source Start Menu alternative and is designed to be a portable apps menu. If anyone has any suggestions for any additional features, please feel free to submit them with the Contact Us page on SciActive.com.

Firefox sync

Submitted by Howthore on October 19, 2007 - 6:59pm

I scrollled back so far without any luck, so.....
I've got FirefoxPortable on my thumb drive
I've also got Firefox on my desktop machines.

What I'd like is a plugin or portable app or something that would let me sync bookmarks between both versions.

I supposed I could do the same job by syncing everything to a gmail account %|. However, this would require additional call cycles for Firefox to querie gmail, wait for a reply, etc, nevermind the overall bottlenecking that would go with it.

Adobe Digital Editions

"The eBook Blues" ...... Sad

I was wondering if this could be done. I have a ton of ebooks in Adobe's PDF format and as you would most likely have figured Adobe ebooks are encrypted so they may only be used with Adobe software (which used to be just the reader, but now Adobe forces you to use DE). It looks like Adobe DE is built with flash coding. Is it possible to make a portable version of this to put on your flash drive? It would be really nice to have an ebook reader used this way.

Qt

As you know qt4 works on windows, mac and of course linux.
this means that kdeapps can be run on all three platforms.
could qt and kdeapps be made portable?
imagine the possibilities!
