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 ;)

    • Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
    • Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon by Taras Buria Files, one of the best third-party file managers for Windows 11 out there, has received a minor update to version 4.1.3. The latest release brings a few quality-of-life improvements and new features, including an easier way to calculate folder sizes, improved tags, a new OneDrive icon, and more. Starting with folder size, File now has a dedicated "View size" button for each folder if you have the "Calculate folder sizes" option turned off in settings. This improves performance and allows you to see each folder's size only when needed. Note that folder size calculation could take some time depending on the number of files and their "weight." Next, Files can now retain file selection when switching layouts. While this change is rather minor, it lets you keep selected objects highlighted whenever you need to switch, say, from a list to a thumbnail layout. If you use tags, you will be glad to know that Files 4.1.3 makes it easier to remove all tags. You can do that with one of the following methods: From the context menu — right-click an item, open the Tags submenu, and choose Remove tags. From the toolbar — when the Edit Tags button is pinned to the toolbar, the same option appears in its menu. From the Command Palette — open the Command Palette and search for Remove tags. You can also assign your own keyboard shortcut to it from Settings. The final visible change is the new OneDrive icon. Files now pulls the icon directly from the OneDrive executable, which means the app always has the up-to-date version. As for the fixes, developers resolved the following bugs: Fixed an issue with extracting tar archives. Fixed an issue where the Signatures page would occasionally cause a crash. Fixed an issue where the Play action wasn’t available when a single media file was selected. Fixed an issue where Smart Extract would extract archives to the wrong location when switching tabs. Fixed an issue where tag search excluded folders when grouping by type. Fixed an issue where thumbnails would sometimes fail to refresh after a file was modified. Fixed an issue where a BitLocker-locked drive wasn’t displayed. Developers also revealed what is coming in future updates. Soon, Files Preview will get a new Tree View sidebar, allowing you to display folders in an expandable hierarchy, which is a popular way to browse deeply nested folders. Expect the feature to arrive in the preview channel in upcoming updates. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
