I think the new style looks pretty good, so opinions differ on this.
Fortunately this program is very customisable. You can have just about any option working the way you want it, which is one of the main attractions of ASuite in my opinion.
There appears to be a small bug. When both "Hide tab search" and "Hide tab stats" are enabled, the "launch window\program list" becomes disabled... causing a bit of a problem.
When the program is running in the system tray, it is always available (improving the speed). Is it possible to use that advantage by also opening the program list when double clicking a shortcut? I mean, it may be more convenient to launch it through a shortcut on the desktop (when no windows are opened). At the moment, that doesn't do anything. You are forced to use the icon in the system tray. Is it technically possible to change that, so you can always have maximum speed?
Thank you for all the work you have done on ASuite.

Found and fix it. Thanks.There appears to be a small bug. When both "Hide tab search" and "Hide tab stats" are enabled, the "launch window\program list" becomes disabled... causing a bit of a problem.
I'll try it.When the program is running in the system tray, it is always available (improving the speed).

Pls files don't launch my mp3 player, Apollo. This is probably because it does something wrong. The author of mp3utility had to adapt his program in order to make it launch Apollo.
Could you check this nevertheless?

@ El Salvador,
I don't know what happened but I posted a long post on ASuite 1.5 beta on portableapps.com and the post disappeared. Anyway, the short of it is:
• The mouse sensors show up as grey 1 pixel windows instead of being invisble.
• When using the new menu, if you chose to open ASuite, the ASuite window opens and the new menu remains open instead of disappearing. When the ASuite window is closed, then the new menu closes.
• I confirm Toxteth O'Grady's bug about the program list disappearing (but you know this already).
Feature request: can we have an option to use the old menu with mouse sensors and the new menu when clicking on the tray icon? That would be cool.
Thank you again for the super ideas, the excellent realization and the superb follow-up.

My Theme
Hi Guys,
I have to say I'm now using ASuite 1.5b and well, what a fantastic application, a big thanks to El Salvador. I've been using PortableApps menu system up till now and the lack of flexibility was driving me mad to the point I was about to start building my own app - then I came across ASuite! At first I'd skipped straight past due to the dated looking interface but with the new XP style view and flexible options I'm blown away
I've never created a theme for anything before but I had to improve (personal opinion!) upon the default skin that came with 1.5b. Here's how it's turned out:
Let me know what you think?
If you think it's good enough please feel free to use it yourself, you can download it from here:
Download asuite_uksamo_theme.zip (86.5 Kb)
One other thing (not related), if possible could a tick box to be added to the options menu to automatically show the menu on the loading of asuite, similar to what happens when portableapps loads?
Many Thanks,
Richard

John Haller deleted ASuite 1.5's topic because (from john's email):I don't know what happened but I posted a long post on ASuite 1.5 beta on portableapps.com and the post disappeared.
I meant that the new look of the menu you introduced was a clone of the
PortableApps.com Menu. And, as forks and clones aren't allowed to be
self-promoted in the forums
I will try it.Pls files don't launch my mp3 player, Apollo. This is probably because it does something wrong. The author of mp3utility had to adapt his program in order to make it launch Apollo.
Strange. It should trasparent. I will check.• The mouse sensors show up as grey 1 pixel windows instead of being invisble.
So, you do:• When using the new menu, if you chose to open ASuite, the ASuite window opens and the new menu remains open instead of disappearing. When the ASuite window is closed, then the new menu closes.
- Launch ASuite and close asuite window
- open new menu
- click on ASuite button to open asuite window
Right?
Yes, I will add it in stable version (or if it need, next beta version).Feature request: can we have an option to use the old menu with mouse sensors and the new menu when clicking on the tray icon? That would be cool.
Thank you to use my software.Thank you again for the super ideas, the excellent realization and the superb follow-up.
Beautiful theme. I will use it as default theme.Let me know what you think?
In the place of Asuite window? Yes, I will add it, too.One other thing (not related), if possible could a tick box to be added to the options menu to automatically show the menu on the loading of asuite, similar to what happens when portableapps loads?
Wow, bummer about JTH. I follow PortableApps.com mostly for your posts and the post of one or two other persons. It is a shamed that a site that touts GPL licences all the time refuses "forks", "clones" and competition in general. Isn't this why the programs are GPL'ed? Oh well.
My desktop is black if it helps to detect why the mouse sensors show up. ASuite 1.4 mouse sensor are truly invisible when I revert back to it.
For the other question, I launch ASuite. By default (my choosing), no window shows up. I open the new menu. I click on ASuite button to open the ASuite window. And the new ASuite menu remains open while the ASuite program window (which opens up) remains open.
By the way, I never even tried the PA menu because of the limitations it had concerning the .paf standard, etc. I tried ASuite immediately because it was open (GPL and flexible)!
Keep up the excellent work. CD
