Stevo, that's a nice script. Could you please post it?

Thanks.

yeah if i can find where i backed it up to i'll post it. i took samurize off my pc, i never really use it

Something definitely happened with judge's DesktopWeather script. It stopped working, now I'm getting "input past end of file" errors all over the place. I can't even edit the config file or ANY config file with this script in it. Any fixes yet? I know its not the "change www to w3" thing, because many of us have done that and nothing works anymore.

Guess we wait for judge to figure it out?

I have a few problems with my script, i have the needed scripts but on my config it says not been executed and i put htem in the "scripts" folder and have downloaded the needed ones but they still wont work any ideaS?

I had the same problem try to edit the config and if you get a ActiveX error you'll need to get your hands on these

Plesase,tell me.

Where can I get this Rainlendar Skin?

July desktops, on page 38 I think - or just search the threads for it, links have been put up dozens of times.

The fact is that Samurize looks great when it's running but it is not user friendly in terms of getting it running or customizing. As long as this remains the case, Samurize will remain a fringe program. I understand that scripts are independent of the program itself but I think it would be great if Samurize included some default scripts that worked when you fire it up for the first time.

In regards to your script question, there is a general FAQ on the Samurize site but the best way to figure it out is to fool around with it for a while.

Samurize weather has stopped working for me, too! I only noticed this yesterday when I saw that the temp and current conditions were obviously wrong. When I checked the html files, they were two weeks old! So, it hasn't been updating now for the last two weeks. I just didn't notice.

I followed the advice and changed "www." to "w3." but I still get "N/A" for everything now. When I open up the config file and click the test button, I still get N/A for everything.

I haven't changed any IE settings, or any of the samurize scripts, or any of the config files. I have two other samurize desktop objects (digital clock and performance monitor) and they continue to work just fine. I also checked and confirmed that I have .NET framework v1.1 installed.

Suspecting that the guys at weather.com changed the page layout again, I planned to save the web-page manually and do a compare of the new page to the old one saved by the script -- to see what they changed. So, I copied the URL from the script into an IE window, opened the Weather web page, and did a save as -- using the filename in the script. IE went through all the motions but at the end, gave me a popup saying it couldn't save the web page! I tried saving other web pages (not from the weather.com site) and they worked OK.

So now, if I can't save weather.com web pages, my guess is that none of the weather scripts will work any more.

I'm stumped! I have no idea what settings have to be changed in IE or Win XP Pro (if those are the culprits) to allow me to save weather.com web-pages.

I suspect I'm not alone in this because I've seen postings lately from others whose weather scripts no longer work. Perhaps it's something the weather.com site has done to disallow web-page saves now.

Anyone have any ideas on this??

    • The post-installation disk footprint hasn't changed much. In version 0.99.1, it was 979 MB. Now, it is 959 MB. That's just 2%. Also, PowerToys fills the disk with logs like crazy. Just look inside "\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys".
    • Yeah, right! /s They've been saying that for two centuries now. Look up "China's final warning" on Wikipedia.
    • I have not verified if any of the fixes mentioned on the below article actually work. Why Claude Code Eats All Your RAM (And How to Fix It) There are at least four separate things that can eat your RAM, and only one of them is your fault. The Four Culprits 1.

    • One of my PC's is Windows 11 Home Edition... and guess what? it supports Hyper-V Disks and Containers, as well as WSL2... which these desktop tools leverage on an as-needed basis. It does not need to be enabled system-wide; it merely needs to exist. Furthermore, I tried something yesterday with Hermes Desktop and their "installer" actually builds everything from source as part of its installer toolchain! The installer (and updater as it were) both go through a roughly 19-step process to prep the system for the tool to be used -- and connectivity to local/remote models, local/remote agent configs, and other steps are not included as part of this process (those are all user config steps post-install). ALSO, the "bug wasn't confirmed to exist" is the weakest argument against a bug. That's literally every flawed product's knee-jerk reaction! Even politicians, lawmakers, murderers, and other violent criminals start with that defense... "I deny everything I'm accused of." The bug is the (shared) experience. Whether it's truly Claude Code's fault, or user error, or some other software package being the ultimate culprit, is not the point. They are experiencing unpleasant side effects and don't like that.
