I've downloaded Omen's VS and it came with a Samurize script for Winamp. Now when I run it on the latest version, it doesn't even show on my screen (untill I load another config and then I see it for a quick second). When I try using 0.63c, it tells me that it was made using a previous version, also with 0.55, it doesn't even load.

Can anyone help me get a working version?

First 'real' foray into Serious Samurize. Each box is a separate insance of Client.exe. The weather is based on WeatherPlus - had some problems with the restart script not killing off the old instance of client/weather. Think I've fixed it but it needs to run for a while longer yet to be sure. Also modded the weather script to use the recent ability to pass arguments into script functions.

Maybe I need to add some icons to this. Whaddya think?

Judge, can u post the files for the cpu usage section too plz, thanks :D

The CPU usage section is real easy to set up. The background is available in the graphics scetion at http://www.samurize.com/.

razor: check samurize.com. the latest addition to the weather scripts is an excellent one for UK. with dynamic pngs that work! (the first one that has NO flaw for me). am using it too .

Ps: well, there is one flaw, bbc weather doesn't provide a current condition for my place (Austria) most of the time ;-(

If i make seperate configs for each section like how Judge did his, how do i get for example weather.ini, system.ini to both load up at system startup? Is there a command i can add to the target line to auto load a certain config.ini file whenever client.exe is executed?

You create a shortcut to client.exe in you startup folder. In the shortcut you change the target entry so that it has one argument - the name you want to give the instance. This is one I use to start my weather script. I've called the shortcut SamurizeWeather.exe and the instance is weather (note that you can't see the leading " at the start of Target).

Nice setup dr3w2k3...but it sure looks like a resource hog...

LOL..it is a bit more than the old plain one I used to use. You must be referring to the 25% CPU usage in the screen shot? I had a ton of other stuff runnin when I took that screenie. The Samurize client usually peaks at maybe 7-8%. ;)

    • 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.
