Woah cool! Someone is still using the Neowin widget I made :D

Yeah, it continues to work even after Neowin made some big changes to the board.

BTW... Do you still work on the widget? What is the latest version?

It's actually the icon. You just click "get info", click the icon in the top left, and then just copy and paste an image in.

What size image do you use the picture as an icon? I went and found posters of the movies I have and just converted them to icons using Pixadex but it's distorted and unclear. Any specific way I should be doing it or at least a better way?

^ I just got the pictures off imdb that little size and then saved it as a png in photoshop then put it in pixadex and selected it and draged the file onto that drop thing and it turned out good, try imdb cause they got a size that seemed to work pretty nice for me. Also make your icons size in your movies folder (or where ever) the largest size.

I've used mac a few times and it's promising. If I ever get rich or get a job cause I am 16 and CAN work, I might buy a Mac Mini. They are nice, interface is clean too.

By the time you have enough money to buy the Mac mini, you might as well save up a little more and get the iMac. It's really much better, having a full computer in one compact casing.

its a lot easier to just copy a picture (into clipboard) and then paste on as icon...

no need to convert or anything.

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.
    • I lived and breathed MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies
    • Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area   
    • memories! completely forgot about alcohol 120%!!!! man this list just makes me think of all the exciting times! everything's become so sterilized these days.
