Custom Installers Update

I just finished uploading new versions of the following applications:

• BurnAware Free 4.5
• BurnAware Free 4.5 Spanish
• GPU-Z 0.5.8
• MediaInfo 0.7.53
• MediaInfo x64 0.7.53
• PDF-XChange Viewer 2.5.201
• uTorrent 3.1.0.26671
• uTorrent x64 3.1.0.26671

The uTorrent x64 installer is not the native 64-bit version. I just labeled it like that because it’s configured for people on Windows x64 because the path to store .torrent files and downloads are inside the Program files (x86) folder.

You can download them in the Custom Installers main page.

I haven’t had the time to add website links and notes for each of my installers, but I plan to do so this weekend.

iTunes 10.5.3.3 and it’s new page

The new custom installers are published and ready to be downloaded.

Also, I just finished rewriting the old iTunes without QuickTime page. It is now called just iTunes and contains information about the modifications I make and some troubleshooting tips.

All comments about my iTunes installers should be posted there to keep the comments section of the main Custom Installers page for all the other applications.

How to change Rainmeter tray icon

As Rainmeter 2.2 was being released a few days ago, I started my (often monthly) quest for new wallpapers and skins to customize my computers. I don’t know why, but I never thought of changing one obvious thing: Rainmeter’s tray icon.

I decided to write a quick guide on how to do exactly that. It’s easy and takes a couple of minutes, depending on how long you take to find or make an icon that suits your taste or skin/theme.

Create a favicon from most image formats

I use Axialis Icon Workshop to generate icons from images when I’m customizing or changing my visual styles/themes/icons. I have just found a pretty little app called BytesX Favicon Generator that can generate icons from most popular image formats. You cannot only generate an icon for your website, but also one to use wherever you want.

Another update

Trying to keep pace with all the updates lately, here is another batch of new files.

The updated installers this time are Maxthon, MKVToolnix and Notepad++. Read a few notes about them after the break.

First update of the year

I just added new versions of Avidemux, BurnAware Free and Notepad++.

How to modify Inno Setup installers

In my unattended installations I often install applications that use Inno Setup as their installer format. I decided to write a quick tutorial to show you how to modify these type of format to suit your needs and remove unnecessary stuff from them.

Merry Christmas!

I hope you guys spend this holidays with family and friends, and have a great time.

My best wishes. Merry Christmas!

Welcome to the New Site!

I just finished redesigning the website and uploading all the files. The goal was to have a new design with more features to make room for my future plans that include making new Windows and Windows Phone applications, among other things.

The next stetp is to import almost all the previous content the old site had, like posts, articles and comments. However, It won’t be easy because the new theme and the newest versions of WordPress have features not available in older versions. I will try my best to import selectively the articles and posts that I consider important, along with their comments.

So, if you were looking for a particular post or article, chances are that it will be available in the next few weeks.

The new Custom Installers section is working right now, but it lacks the website information for every app. I will add it in the upcoming days, along with a few notes for each installers that will include information about what I changed or modified, the type of installer and any other info I find relevant.

I hope you will find the new site more useful. If you have any comments or suggestions, please send me a message through the Contact page.
