Hi All,

For my second post at Neowin: ;)

Many imporvements and fixes on the first version, so far I haven't had one reported crash or installation bug. Try it for yourself.

This suite of widgets requires NO EDITING or ANY form of configuration other than what is presented inside the actual widget.

Simply extract the folder from the zip onto your desktop and execute the installation vbs. Everything is copied into the correct locations and the configs are automatically edited to reflect your local samurize directory.

Double-click the shortcuts that appear and each widget will guide you through its configuration ON-SCREEN!

There are four widgets in all: System Stats, Media, Weather & Album Art.

Please read the instructions on my website:

As always, let me know if you have any problems.

Which screenshot are you referring to?

Going across from left to right: the first is '6Pack' (stefanKa), the next three are 'Good Grey' (Mac OSX GuiKit ported to windows by Naughty Dogg) and the last is 'Latium' (again a Mac OSX GuiKit but there hasn't been a port yet, hence the shot of the objectbar theme).

OK guys, just to keep you up to date, as you can no doubt see I'm having hosting issues at the moment. StyleSuites offered to host Suite v0.2 but unfortunately they are having hosting issues of their own.

Currently, I'm temporarily hosting the lite version of the download on my mirrored site (see first post). Please follow the instructions on my site for copying your existing weather images.

If anyone can offer a mirror please let me know, it would be much appreciated.

You're trying to download the wrong file. Please check my mirrored site for details of where to download (I'm not providing any direct links other than through my website as it seems there have been 101 direct 'hotlinks' posted and they're really screwing up my bandwidth).

Thanks for understanding

This is some piece of work you've put togheter Tadis! Most excellent:)

I was surprised over how well the album art widget works. :)

Looking forward to the release of your other projects :woot:

Oh..just one question.

Will the skins for the weather thingy also be released for media and album art widget?

Or perhaps a skin to match Luna VX :yes:

Edited by synchro

I have a small problem. I keep getting invalid parameter in the weather widget. anyone know y?

It was working fine in the beginning but then after I installed some new skins n loaded the weather widget I got invalid parameter. It still shows the same when I go back to the skin where it was working.

K, for all peeps that have trouble finding your location ID for a weather app, I tried to put in my city at www.weather.com and it showed my forecast but it was showing the weather ID in the address bar as "undeclared", so I went to usatoday's weather search and was able to not only get my forecast there, but ALSO the location ID.....and in case some of you don't know yet how it works, for all US cities, it shows up like this

USxxxxxx. Mine is Loves Park, IL and mine shows up like this - USIL0695

Hope that helps anyone who has had trouble with THAT part anyway ;)

    • Does anyone here know if these updates are integrated into the UUP dump isos?
    • Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.4 changelog: Motrix Next 3.9.4 promotes the 3.9.4 beta cycle to stable. This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields. Magnet and ED2K lifecycle support — Added task lifecycle handling for magnet and ED2K links. History cleanup for deleted tasks — Deleted tasks can now remove matching history records. User-Agent management — Added user-agent management and improved related network preference controls. Browser extension documentation — Added the Firefox Add-ons link for the Motrix Next extension. Improvements Engine binaries — Updated bundled binaries for supported architectures. Task Detail readability — Long task names, URLs, tracker values, and copyable metadata now render more clearly.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
