this is my latest.. quite similar to my old one, but with graphics instead of pure 0.63c rectangles.. :happy:

the PNGs are based on c10k2 and i just fitted them to my config..

nothing unnecesary, nothing bulky, just straighforward, important, every-day info..

:punk:

:) Okay, I have been working hard on this config for a bit, I also found a script to add a local doppler radar to your config....WAY COOL! Completely transparent so it works well with my wallpaper! All of it updates hourly including the doppler! Hope you all like! :)

hmmz... i could swear i'd posted this one here somewhere yesterday night :s anyway, here it is again:

my desktop featuring samurize ;)

2004-02-23%20Monitor%202%20Thumb.jpg

Image is clickable for larger size

I've used some of FOOOD's icons in the System State part... the TV Guide icons are my own work, and the icons with the MSN part came with the script. The winamp thingie i made with 3 meters:

1 - background image of cd case + cd

2 - another image of the cd, but now containing an alert value when there is no track playing to display the 'Winamp is not active' text... I could have done this with another meter as well, but i wanted to do it like this ;)

3 - pie meter displaying the percentage of a track played (i set it to look like an overlay so you keep seeing the cd)

Hope you can give me some feedback on it :)

I'm currently using the sidebar samurize skin. I was wondering how I could incorporate the weather into it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I downloaded DesktopWeatherXML v1.4.zip from the samurize site (i would link it but samurize.com is down right now).

I unzipped it to the samurize directories. There should be a file named DesktopWeatherXML.vb script: choose the DesktopWeatherXML.vbs script

- choose the getCacheFiles function, it will be an empty object

- click the 'test script' button to tell the weather function to go out and get the xml file.

- for other functions...

- choose your function to get the info

- click on the 'test script' to display the info.

- for weather pngs, add a day[0-4].png image from samurize/skins/desktopweatherXML/temp

now.png is today, day1 tomorrow... and so on.

Oh yeah... read the readme.txt to change your zip code.

I'm still in the process of learning how to use it, but I hope this gets you started. If you look at the included config, it will be of great help.

    • 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. Bloated Session Logs (The Silent Killer). For 2-4 and more inluding the suggested fixes, see link https://marceloretana.com/blog...aude-code-eats-all-your-ram
    • 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.
