This solution is for portable version of XAMPP wih installed CMS (such as Joomla!) that use absolute path.

I'm working on a small program that I would like to make have portable support. I'm wondering how best to do this. I would like to make it in such a way that a portable version for MSW, Mac, and even Linux could be installed on a USB/external device.

Somebody knows how create a software to modify the scheme colors of portable apps
i like to modify that red gradient colors to a black gradient, maybe silver
this is possible?

The official version of WinSCP is meanwhile 4.1 beta, the portable version is still 4.0.7. At winscp.net you only can get the German language file for 4.1. So average users of the current portable version don't have the chance to localize this application.

To avoid such difficulties in the future: Is it possible to use the "WinSCP Multilanguage installation package" from winscp.net as the base for the development of the next portable version? This would help all non-English users.

hi.
I have changed my fonts to 120 DPI because I've got a large display.
as a result I have this looks of portableapps menu:
PortableApps Menu Deformed

Please take care of it.

Thanks for a great bundle!

Would it be possible to drop the "Portable" suffix for display in the menu? The front page no longer uses the suffix in the list of updates, and it's kinda pointless in the menu, also. Would it be possible to just have the menu show the base name of the app?

Obviously Mozilla's stuff will have to retain the "Portable Edition" nomenclature, even in the menu, to keep Mozilla happy, but the other stuff... it just seems too verbose.

There are some times (like now) that I have a breaking need to use the PA.com logo, but I remember that what I'm making is unofficial and that I can't becuse it's trademarked/I don't have permission. Anyone got a good unofficial logo designed for unofficial matters???

I've been using the PAM R31 mod since it's release and recently encountered a situation I have not been able to resolve by myself. So, I'd appreciate suggestions. I have two questions:

So, I need everyones input on this if possible please.

So I'm curious, who here actually uses or has used Mac-on-Stick? Who here believes the Mac-on-Stick page should be removed? Who believes that it should stay?
