Aignes Portable Start Menu

[USB_Kx]

Portable Start Menu is a simple and free start menu application that can be installed on USB sticks or local PCs.

Organize your programs in a simple menu system and launch them via a tray icon. If you close Portable Start Menu on an USB-Stick, running applications can be closed automatically, too.

A new one on the block


http://www.aignes.com/psmenu.htm Portable Start Menu

I don't think it can replace my beloved PStart, as it has so many fewer features, but worth a try.

If you copy PSM back and forth between a USB and the hard drive, it seems to autodetect if it is portable or not, and in portable mode has one Great feature: Close all running programs off the USB and exit!

PStart is in the startup of both my home and work machine, basically all but replacing the Start Menu, so I personally don't see a use there, but I am tempted to try it on my USB sticks, if only for the above feature.

I'll have to try again. I did searches on the DB for aignes, psmenu, and "start menu". Wonder how I missed it.

Portable Start Menu is another program I have to freeze to a previous version- 3.3:



because 3.4:



The program is good but I cannot stand latest version modern flugliness (flatness + ugliness).

The program is good but I cannot stand latest version modern flugliness (flatness + ugliness).

Really? The difference seems pretty minor based on your screencaps.

For others the difference may look very insignificant but not for me- I really cannot stand flat style.

I agree there's isn't a large difference here but, on purely aesthetic as well as communicative grounds, I have to stand with smaragdus on this one.

I'm all for minimalism in general, but this design trend of impoverishing UI detail for the sake of it doesn't bode well. Linux users will certainly recall a similar trend at the inception of many of current desktop manager iterations (Cinnamon, Mate, Unity, etc.) issued from the camp of once dominant Gnome. There's minimalism and there's dumbing down (... and rendering featureless and harder to recognize, which is precisely the core function of such visual elements).

@webfork: if this is its main topic, OP subject should be something like "Aignes Portable Start Menu" for clarity sake. Thanks.
