Okay this is my first attempt of putting a skin on anything so don't laugh atlot at me. I am thinking about adding a network bar somewhere for my internal/external IP addresses, upload/download and network drive status.

Wow, that's a really impressive config... bit huge for my tests, but very nice job overall!

This is my first post but I've been hanging around neowin for quite a while. Decided to post my config since I'm kind of proud of it and all...

Give Stevofc credits. I also modified his sam script. Although I don't use it anymore as I find samurize and rainlendar uses too much system resources. Only things I still run is Y'z Dock and Y'z Toolbar. Click on DevianArt link at the bottom to get my script.

Yeah, the basic idea of it all was somewhat from his bar but I restarted from scratch. I do want to thank the creator of the GIMP icons as well.

I have taken my samurize skin that some of you saw earlier and have changed it greatly. I have added my network computers with pictures and network upload and download information. I also added a part that tells me the most recent post from the xoxide forums. Also by double clicking on the forum topic such as "case gallery" it will automatically open internet explorer and take me to the case gallery. Well here is the skin and comments are appreciated.

obs0lete ... Is there a prob with your config? Its been working fine for a week or two, and over the last few days it keeps screwing up with the weather part of things. I.E. when starting the weather part stays on NA and my system locks up until I close Samurize via the task manager. I have uninstalled and reinstalled samurize (as there was no way I could find of changing the config without it locking up) and found that my other configs are fine, but as soon as I reload your config it goes loopy again :( Any suggestions?

Hmm I'm not sure why it would do that. The only thing I can suggest when it happens is to delete your DesktopWeather30min.xml and DesktopWeather120min.xml files (they are in C:\Program Files\Samurize\Scripts) and then reload the config and hope for the best.

Had tried that already, no joy :( Out of curiosity I tried the original version from a while back which I had archved, and that works perfectly (apart from the icons not updating, even though there is a whole row of Samurize icons). It just seems to be the new version thats screwing up (I made sure I replaced the weatherscript from the older version to the new one when necessary)

Any other suggestions?

Problem sorted, apparantly a few people have been having similar problems with the weather script over the last few days (not you config obs0lete) and all is working fine again now. Maybe weather.com were messing about again :)

Anyhow, glad to say your config is now working again obs0lete ... Knew it wouldn't be your fault, as it had been working fine for ages before now :)

Thanks for the positive feedback! :)

I made some major revisions to my samurize...

:: Rev. 1.1 ::

New Updates:

- Added scrolling feature for long titles.

- Changed the position of the clock and added a "blinking" indicator for seconds. (1 blink per 2 seconds)

- Changed the size of the boarders and the relative position of objects to optimize the looks.

- Added PLAYING and PAUSED indicator.

- Other known bugs fixed.

Known problems: (These problems relate to the plugins)

- Radio broadcasting titles don't refresh unless you manually "reload" samurize.

- Scrolling screws up when the title is centered... that's why the title is not centered any more.

- I wasn't able to find a font named "small fonts" in my fonts folder. Not sure if its Windows XP default font.

It is only used on the network transfer, "IN" and "OUT," indicator.

Does anyone know how to correct these problems? ...especially titles for radio.

I've included all the possible fonts I could find that I used on this. Let me know if the fonts don't display properly...

    • Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
