If you're interested in having a Pandora desktop app(sort-of) then keep on reading. It should work with any OS since it only uses Google Chrome and a few extensions to create the app. It's very easy to do so... Lets Get started: If you don't already use the best browser ever created then you will need to download and install Google Chrome. It should be quick and painless :) Now you will need to install the Stylish for Chrome extension. This extension can be used for much more than just Pandora, so make sure to check out all the other styles at http://adf.ly/2506976/userstyles. Next we install the Full Screen + No Adds Pandora style sheet created by kodayoda713. Now you could stop here and have Pandora open in a tab without adds and full screen...It already looks pretty good at this point The last thing left to do is create the app shortcut in Google Chrome. So open your now full screen Pandora Radio. Once you are there all that's left is to go to Chrome's Settings/Tools/Create application shortcuts... You will receive a prompt asking where you want the shortcuts to be placed. Select the places you'll want them and hit "Create" And...DONE!
Also if you want your Pandora Radio to be tracked/"scrobbled" by last.fm there is an extension for that too. It can be found here PandoraEnhancer it also has desktop notifications with player controls. Hope all goes well with your new Pandora desktop app. :)

Today I would like to tell you about a very handy little tool called Ninite 'cause it Rocks! The scenario goes something like this...you just re-installed your operating system and now you must hunt down and install all your favorite programs. It could normally take you anywhere from 10 minutes up to 2 hours to get all this done...not anymore! With Ninite all you have to do is choose the programs that you want to install and then download the program. No real walk through is needed because it really is that simple.
Not only will Ninite install all the listed programs for you, it can easily update all those programs as well...just run the same installer again. Ninite will contact all the appropriate servers and check to make sure you are running the most current version of the selected list of programs. There is also a pro version of the software which expands on the features of Ninite by allowing you to install to multiple computers at once (on a network) and also installs about 3x faster. Ninite currently has both Windows and Linux versions. While the Linux version works just fine it's program list is quite bare in comparison to the windows programs. |
