Icon file path?

Submitted by dawgz on December 18, 2008 - 10:12pm

Hi, I was wondering if someone can tell me where is the location of the icon file that the PortableApps Menu uses for the applications?

I'm asking is because I'm currently using PAM Mod with a dark theme and even with the transparency there's a halo of white around my app icons, i was wondering if I can locate the icon files and see if i can clean up the halo. Thanks

A Simple batch file to Portablize (most) applications

Submitted by crazy2be on December 17, 2008 - 10:07pm

You can generally use this batch file to portabalize alot of things. Just change the variables to your needs (the set blah=blah lines)

[edit] Fixed to be automatically minimized [/edit]

@echo off
if NOT "%1" == "/Added" (
start /MIN "ShellWM Loader" %0 /Added
goto end
) else (
echo Loading...
)
:: Change these to your app's
:: applicationname is the name of the app
:: (no spaces please)
:: application is the file to run, "" if it has spaces
:: regkey1 is the branch created by the application
:: (Usually HKCU\Software\%applicationname%).

Submitted by thegreyspot on December 13, 2008 - 11:12am

Hello Everybody!!

Im not sure if this is being posted in the right forum or not. Please feel free to move it if you would like.

So basically I followed one of the forum postings and I copied all the Ad-Aware files from the program files folder to my thumb drive. Now when I open the program I get this error message:
"System error: 810 has occurred.Description: Service is not online. Application terminates"

Question to ask, What do I need to know about making an app portable

Submitted by arinlares on December 13, 2008 - 5:06am

I'm going to ask a developer of a free physics simulator if I can make a Portable Apps version of the program. The software is not open source, and is not to be used for commercial purposes. Anyway, what do I need to know about the software before working on it?

Use numbers in fron tof the programs namn on the list

Submitted by musselasse on December 10, 2008 - 10:35am

I want to be able to have a number in front of some programs on the program meny. For example 1 audacity, 2 Photofiltre etc. so the programs willl appear on the top of the meny. I'm in project that will teach swedish teacher students how to use ICT in the classroom. To gratuate in this project they will use different programs in different levels (five levels).
Is it easy to edit in some files to get the numbers first before the program name?
