PortableApps.com Menu also supports the installation of other portable applications available from many other resources.

Excellent way to test Beta Browsers, Portablize your own applications ( using tools available ), and minimize portability bloat..( like toting around your own PC )..

PortableApps.com Menu supports themes ( pictured above ).. and custom icon sets.

A few resources can be found in several places on the Web..( but not limited to )

Thanks a bunch for this

[HX1]

Always welcome.. This was like the third time I thought about putting this up.. Been using it for a few years now.. Now with some of the new enhancements to the menu.. makes all that much better.. Funny things is that some of them started out as hacks to the main program, that are officially tested/rewritten and incorporated into the final product.. Great to keep your portables in one place, organized and easy to access..

New version is quite a bit faster than some of the old versions as well..:thumbsup:

Ty, comes in handy :)

Probably the best Collection of Portable Apps/Menu System you will find :)

Also available is the PortableApps Platform Menu System version 2.0 Beta 3 running very well (for me)

[HX1]

Are there any new features or major differences in the two versions at this point? Just curious as I haven't viewed any information on it yet..

EDIT: Looks like the Beta has a ton of new features, worth checking out..Beta 3 Page

Bumped for update to 1.6...

PortableApps.com Platform 2.0 (Leo) Beta 5 Testing - Download & Info

C&P

PortableApps.com Platform 2.0 (codename: Leo) Beta 5 has just been posted for testers and translators. This latest beta represents a large behind-the-scenes effort to upgrade many of the underpinnings of the PortableApps.com Platform on the road to 2.0. The main purpose of Beta 5 was to upgrade the codebase to the latest version of our development environment, make the switch from ANSI to Unicode, add the first public release of the PortableApps.com Updater and do the first public testing of our new theming engine.

What's New In 2.0 Beta 5

• PortableApps.com Updater - The updater let's you keep all your apps and the platform updated with just a few clicks. It'll even download the right language version of the app based on the language your platform is set to. Just click Manage Apps - Check For Updates!
• New Theming Engine - Over 32 themes are included showing off our new colormix technology and the ability to combine images and chrome. More details on the new theming format will be debuting next week so themers can start making their own packaged themes.
• Unicode Support - Full unicode support means that you can use the platform in the language of your choice even on a PC set to another language. It also allows us to support Vietnamese, Serbian and other upcoming languages that require Unicode for full functionality.
