can we see a white version? or a version that matches OpusOS X? :)

I was thinking of a milky white idea... basically inverted... sort of.

I'll see when I'll have time to play around with the colors.

Probably the hardest part of my script is the blinking "seconds" indicator on the clock.

I wish samurize had a better editor... where I can edit multiple object's property...

Anyway, I will post when new color themes come out.

But white with dark blue/black/dark grey? I don't know what inverse color OpusOS X prefers.

Does anyone know if there is a script to tell me how strong my wireless setup it connected at?

That would be awesome. With the ease of incorporation with my other configs, i would pay a few bucks for something like that. there are programs that do that, but no like the minimalistacity-ism-ness of samurize.

I couldn't resist making other color themes... I like the black one a lot. :)

:: Rev. 1.3 ::

- Added two extra color themes: black and white

- Fixed minor display errors.

:: Download ::

BTW, I didn't have time to make other screenshots of the bigger ones... but they're similar to the mini ones

I have a request.

Would someone make me a Samurize script that would looks like something that comes default on XP? I don't want it to have and pngs, but I would like it to have uptime, hd space, cpu usage, ram usage, weather in the us, and a pop3 e-mail checker. Thanks!

Here's my first attempt at a Samurize script...it's unobtrusive, sits against the top of my secondary monitor. It is always on top, and its height is exactly the same as my windows' titlebars. The nice part about having it on the secondary monitor is that I can watch it while I play games on the primary one :)

It has CPU :: mem free/total :: pagefile :: Hard drives C and F activity :: network :: media info (player, volume, artist, track, track time, progress) :: uptime

One problem I'm having, if you look at the progress bar in the media section, is that the background of the progress bar is supposed to be partially transparent. I have it set at 70 right now in the config, and it shows up fine in the editor, but no matter what value I set it at it always shows up as solid white when it actually runs. Anyone know what the deal is with this? I'm using Samurize 1.2.

To nazgul and everyone who PM'ed me about the samurize config, I've asked Bant's permission, so I just need to wait and hear from him. In the mean time, I've improved the script a bit, I made the graphics fit a bit better and look slightly cleaner, I also added some information to the script by shrinking the font, the 8 pt was way too big. Anyway, it was all custom pretty much before, so you guys would have had alot of text lines to edit in order to get it work on your systems (i'm too lazy to let scripts write stuff for me) but now it'll pretty much work on anyones machine, except maybe the temperature after the processor information will need to be moved depending on what your processor name shows up as (just to make it fit). Anyway, here's an updated screenshot of the fixed up version, I'll post a download link as soon as Bant gets back to me.

Edit: If anyone knows how to get the PNG format meters to work properly in the newest version of Samurize (1.20.1) so I can use actual Reluna progress bars, instead of just gradients, I'd hugely appreciate the help. Thanks

I got permission for the Reluna script from Bant, so you can download version 1 here now! :yes:

I say version 1 because I tend to make it as customizable as possible, there's very little static information in it right now, so it should all update on it's own for other peoples systems. Hopefully before the weekend is over, I'll make a full version2, which will include a blank window PSD so that you can add as many extra docked windows as you want, and all you have to do is edit the text (i'll position it and set the shadows and stuff), as well, I'm gonna try and get permission from mattahan to use GANT icons as an alternative to the windows xp icons (that's what I use, and that's why they're there) but I'll set it up so all you have to do is drop the GANT versions of the png's in the folder and it will replace all the icons in the script. Finally, if anyone has any idea how to get the new damn png meters in samurize 1.20 to work please pm me or email right away! I want to use the progressbars from Reluna for this theme, but everytime I add a png meter in the Samurize config editor, I just get a meter that sticks at 100%, anyway, that's the goal for the final release, so here's a taste to keep everyone happy for now.

I know I'm going kinda overboard for a samurize script, but I just finished the Olive color scheme, which uses GANT icons as default but you can swap them between color themes. As well the PSD is ready so you can add your own windows, now all I need is mattahan's permission for the icons, and someone who knows how to get the png meters to work. I might make a custom installer while I wait for an answer from mattahan as well.

Oh yeah, Bant said if I wanted he'd add this to the next update of the Reluna thread :D sweet

    • Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements by David Uzondu Alpine Linux 3.24 has been released with updated system packages, including Linux kernel 6.18 and Rust 1.96. The team also added IPv6 support to the system installer, and they introduced automatic serial console configuration for headless setups. System76's COSMIC desktop environment is now available in the community repo. System76 originally started building this DE because its developers found GNOME to be pretty limited. Plus, it did not help that with virtually every GNOME update, the changes broke System76's custom desktop extensions. As for system packages, the Alpine team moved GTK+ 3.0 from the main repository to the community repository due to its legacy status. py3-setuptools has been upgraded to version 82.0.0, while the old pkg_resources module has been completely dropped. The team also removed outdated packages that still relied on py3-six and GTK+ 2.0. In addition to that, libsoup 2 has been removed because the library was affected by multiple security vulnerabilities. If you're a GRUB user, the Alpine Team said that you must manually run the grub-install command with your specific device or EFI options right after upgrading your system, otherwise, your computer may fail to boot properly with the newly updated GRUB 2.14 bootloader. New installations of Alpine Linux now offer an optional path to a /usr-merged directory layout if you set the BOOTSTRAP_USR_MERGED environment variable to 1 before you execute the setup-disk command. If you already run an older installation, you can migrate manually by installing the merge-usr package and executing its binary as the root user. The team recommends this layout to align Alpine with modern Linux standards, though you should verify your custom scripts before making the switch. Alpine Linux is a pretty tiny (~5MB) Linux distro built around musl libc, BusyBox, and OpenRC. It's been around since 2005, comes with its own package manager called Alpine Package Keeper (APK), and is widely used in modern cloud computing and software deployment.
    • Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid by David Uzondu Instagram is finally rolling out the ability to customize your feed layout as you see fit by letting you reorder posts on your profile grid. This feature comes several months after the app introduced a tool that lets users rearrange photos and videos within a carousel post after it has already been published. To do that, people tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the post, select the edit option, and reorganize their slides. Now that Instagram has expanded the feature to your profile grid, you can organize your main page without deleting old uploads. To use the new system, you simply tap any picture on your grid and select the option to reorder. This action opens up a separate screen where you can freely drag your grid items around until you get your preferred aesthetic, and then you just hit the back button to save your changes. Instagram's Threads account posted that the system would reach accounts starting this week, so you might need to wait for the automatic update to hit your phone. https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DZVV_fyjjSW In other Instagram news, last week, people figured out that if you ask Meta's AI support assistant to hand over any Instagram account, the bot will actually hand it over (even if the victim's account had 2FA enabled). The security exploit involved the assistant accepting prompts from users and generating password reset links for unauthorized email addresses. Meta said that the issue has now been fixed, but this came after the issue affected several high-profile accounts, including @obamawhitehouse. Last month, the company finally rolled out paid subscription tiers for WhatsApp and other Meta social platforms after months of testing. WhatsApp Plus costs $2.99 a month and gives you custom themes, while Instagram Plus and Facebook Plus cost $3.99 a month for extra profile customization and story rewatch counters. Meta's also working on Meta One, a unified subscription service that contains options for heavy users of its servers who want more reach or advanced features. For instance, Meta One Essential ($14.99/mo) comes with a verified badge and impersonation protection. If you pay for Meta One Premium ($19.99/mo), you get deeper AI reasoning tools, whereas the Meta One Advanced ($49.99/mo) tier increases your search placement (on Facebook and Instagram) and visibility.

    • EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp by Hamid Ganji The European Commission has ordered Meta to restore third-party AI chatbots’ access to WhatsApp after the tech giant decided to block them from operating on the popular messaging platform. After Meta banned rival AI chatbots from operating on WhatsApp, the European Commission launched an antitrust investigation to determine whether the company had abused its market dominance. As a result of Meta’s decision, third-party AI chatbots, including Microsoft’s Copilot and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, were prevented from operating on WhatsApp. At the time, Meta said it wanted to reserve the WhatsApp Business API for other types of businesses and did not allow rival chatbots to use it. This effectively prevented the WhatsApp ecosystem from being used to distribute rival chatbot services. However, the European Commission has now announced an interim measures decision requiring Meta to restore access to WhatsApp for rival general-purpose AI assistants on the same terms and conditions as before October 15, 2025. The Commission has also asked Meta to maintain that access until the antitrust investigation is concluded. The Commission argues that Meta has used its dominant market position to prevent rival AI chatbots from accessing the WhatsApp Business API. While Meta allowed rival services to return to WhatsApp by paying a fee, the European Commission still considers that arrangement to be a de facto access ban. According to EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera, the fees introduced by Meta are so high that using WhatsApp is no longer economically sustainable for competitors. “It seems that Meta expects to leverage the vast reach and likely dominance of WhatsApp to benefit its own AI assistant and to foreclose rivals,” Ribera said. “We cannot let large digital incumbents leverage their dominance of the past to dictate who in Europe gets to compete and who gets to innovate in AI.”
