Re: Dark mode

Much better now, methinks...

There's still the issue of lack of visual feedback distinguishing visited vs non-visited links and some visual downgrading of the dark mode site UI (text-only buttons, glaring white dropdowns, etc.)...

Re: Dark mode

That logo image should also be fully transparent, perhaps, but with black text changed to white. But it's already transparent and that's exactly why it happens - because it was designed with a black text over a transparent background. In my CSS I've chosen the lightest dark shade background to coun...

Gifski (animated GIF compressor)

First mentioned by Nickesm (https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=94656#p94656) Gifski looked interesting for its purpose, as it also advertised a Windows GUI version -- which sadly I couldn't make work; it executed alright with no patent error and then just stayed in memory withou...

Re: Dark mode

As a user of Windows 10 dark theme, here's how TPFC looks right now for me (logged in)... https://i.postimg.cc/x14fpHwX/TPFC-Screenshot-2024-05-23.png Blue highlight on blue links isn't the most readable choice, IMHO. That logo image should also be fully transparent, perhaps, but with black text cha...

Mercury (Firefox browser fork)

Mercury recent came to my attention due to its native portability builds and instructions... It's the work of the same dev behind the Thorium Chrome builds (posted by rbon in the " XP compatible software " topic; https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=106760#p106760) and ...

Re: Is it time to stop highlighting 32-bit over 64-bit and possibly stop the distinction at all?

While I think your suggestion has merit and I agree overall -- back then I was even on the forefront of promoting 64-bit software adoption here -- I totally disagree with sun-setting any 32-bit entries... I mean first and foremost 64-bit versions should be the default by now but the existence of any...

Re: Signal - cross-platform secure messaging (64-bit only)

I agree. But those allegations are far from unbelievable, especially coming from where they come... and too much has happened over the years to allow any side's claims to be taken purely on good faith. For a case in point in another quadrant, just consider the impending TikTok ban. These are juggern...

Re: AutoRun LWMenu

Well, it's double affirmative because it's actually an official feature that was based on a previous discussion is this very thread. This FAQ explains how to do it and you can also see it in the comparison table . Thanks for enlightening me -- I hadn't caught that feature, I'll have to look into it...

Re: AutoRun LWMenu

Bear with me: Haven't used it yet but I'm just wondering here if there's any way to run LWMenu without it showing its UI, only executing launching directives (kinda like yaP does)?

In the affirmative, I see LWMenu could easily become yet another Portabilizer alternative... ;)

Re: Kodak Imaging (Win95 and later)

FWIW and in its heyday, OmniPage was one of the best (if not outright best) OCR toolsets. I used it often for its ease and quality.
