Here's my first one. Just finished it this morning. I decided to make one to match the LunaVX4 theme I was using, and it turned out better than I thought. Still messing with some of the scripts and what not. Migh thave to download some more. But here is what I have so far :)

Here's my first in awhile...I stopped using Samurize for a long time, but now I'm back at it!

This one I've made is really cool, IMHO. I like to keep my Samurize info always on top, so I make it so it fits onto the title bar of windows on my second monitor.

Screen 1 (collapsed):

That has, in order:

CPU usage | Main mem usage | Hard drive activity for local drives | network in/out | uptime

The second thing I like is to always have my media controls available when I'm listening to music, but I don't like having the huge emtpy space in my Samurize config when the media player isn't running. So, I made a little thing I can click on (the << to the left of "CPU") that will 'expand' my Samurize config (actually, it opens another one that is positioned to make it look like it expands on the first one):

Screen 2 (expanded):

MD3-config-open.jpg

That allows me to control Winamp directly from my Samurize config, as well as having the Artist/Track title, progress bar, play time, and equalizer visualization. Having the Winamp controls/info in a second Samurize client is of additional benefit when you want to use a visualization, because for the visualization to work you need to have the config update time at around 50ms, whereas the main config (with the CPU, etc) is set to 1000ms or more, typically, otherwise you're wasting too many CPU cycles checking on how many CPU cycles you're using.

Now if only I can find a Windows theme that looks good with it!

Let me know what you think.

wincustomize has a poll up for which application to add to the site. So go vote for samurize (you need an account on wincustomize to vote), http://www.wincustomize.com/

Can someone make a config for me? I want it to look like the image below, but where the EA logo is, it would be nice if it had the ablum art. I will be using iTunes, and I only want it there when the song first comes on. It would be cool if it could slide in to the right of the screen, then wait like 5 seconds, then slide back and disappear. Anyone want to take a shot at it?

I don't think the animation you want is possible. As for the rest of it, the best way to get what you want is to do it yourself! Samurize really isn't that difficult. Just start messing around with it, and check out the Samurize web site and forums for tips and help if you get stuck.

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.
    • Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
