Updated, finally got my rainmeter configs done for Window Media Player! When WMP is not running the album cover, titles, and buttons all hide. Added third digit to the Temp meter since I am living in SoCal and it gets in the triple digits here. O_o Brightened up the bars and added the transparent backgrounds back in.

Thanks to the author of Black Glass for Rainmeter, I have totally redone your code, but it has inspired me!

I added the ability to turn volume up or down by hovering the mouse pointer over the album cover and using the mouse wheel up or down. I love it!

Thank you!

Off base, but is anyone else recently seeing "broken image" links from random users posting their screenshot through Neowin's attachment feature?

Yes looks like image fail...including the one I attached last night... I will attach mine again and see if it goes better...

Right click the link and click on "Reload image" or something along those lines. This works for me though the Admins/Developers should know about this.

Pretty much lol.

Mainly the rainmeter layout i think... (is that the icons and the date on the left hand side?)

also how did you get all the office icons to group like that?

cheers.

here's for the taskbar icon grouping, called Bins

Most of the rainmeter stuff you can find at Deviantart. I Think I covered it? I could be wrong

Very nice! I'm just curious, what music player is that and if or if that's used by Rainmeter, where can I find it and can you use it with Foobar?

Thank you.

      Google Chrome 149.0.7827.201 (offline installer) by Razvan Serea The web browser is arguably the most important piece of software on your computer. You spend much of your time online inside a browser: when you search, chat, email, shop, bank, read the news, and watch videos online, you often do all this using a browser. Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier. Use one box for everything--type in the address bar and get suggestions for both search and Web pages. Thumbnails of your top sites let you access your favorite pages instantly with lightning speed from any new tab. Desktop shortcuts allow you to launch your favorite Web apps straight from your desktop. Chrome has many useful features built in, including automatic full-page translation and access to thousands of apps, extensions, and themes from the Chrome Web Store. Google Chrome is one of the best solutions for Internet browsing giving you high level of security, speed and great features. Google Chrome 149.0.7827.201 security fixes: [N/A][513138301] High CVE-2026-13281: Integer overflow in Mojo.

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      Fire and rehire. Doubt the work contracts are as favourable. Smart tactic using AI to do it legally.
    • Age of Empires Mobile comes to PC, here's how to carry over progress from your phone

      > And, of course, it includes in-game purchases. Sigh.. of course it does. I just don't understand why anyone would want to play this on PC, when the far superior AoE 2/DE exists. Just kill this with fire already. Or a trebuchet.
    • Rufus alternative Ventoy now supports Windows 11's mandatory update, fixes major boot bug

      By [deXter] · Posted

      Normally you'd just want to use Ventoy, but Rufus is handy when: - Ventoy doesn't work (some BIOSes can be weird) - You're mainly interested in creating a single Windows live USB and not interested in a multi-boot / Linux USBs - You want to automate your Windows installations (Rufus supports creating/injecting an autounattend.xml file which fully automates a Windows install). You can do this with Ventoy as well, but it requires a bit more of an effort. Also worth nothing is that both automatically bypass Windows 11's artificially imposed restrictions (TPM, CPU etc).
