Customizable but Common Portable Apps Splashscreen

Submitted by act4art on February 28, 2010 - 1:08pm

Hello,

I'm new to Portable Apps and converting some apps which I need.
Now I'm searching this (such a) Portable Apps Splashscreen,
which I can customize. Probalby there is a XCF/PSD file
available. Because there look all similar. SumatrPDF, Gimp2, etc.
But where? Can't find such a "template"

Splash screens

Submitted by temp4746 on February 26, 2010 - 5:55am

Some applications have their own splash screen.
Maybe in those that it is appropriate you should just add a PortableApps.com logo to the corner, instead of completely changing the splash screen so we wont lose the splash screen image of the original App?

For example: GIMP

I got a few questions...

I want to make a launcher that launches an app after it closes another one...

I'm trying to make Abobe Flash Player Portable and I made a little exe that deletes the cookies you make on the computer and replaces them with original cookies that were on it (if any) but I don't know how to edit the Firefox Portable Launcher so that it launches the "cookie monster" after you close firefox.

The newest version of uTorrent has been out for a while. Are there any plans to update the Portable Apps package?

Yes, uTorrent can already be made portable but the package by the Portable Apps team is a much more elegant solution.

(I hope I got this in the right place)

Hello, I'm creating my own portable version of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2(hence I don't follow official specs or anything) and I've run into a problem. I got this piece of code:


${registry::MoveKey} "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Infogrames\" "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Infogrames-backup\" $R0
Sleep 100

Which works as expected. However, the opposite does nothing:


${registry::MoveKey} "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Infogrames-backup\" "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Infogrames\" $R0
Sleep 100
