thanx'

[Bizkit]

ok. what do i put for the url thing?

[Vidar]

Anyone got an upload site? The zip for the card-script (with images) is 667KB :)

[Bizkit]

e-mail it to me and i will upload it :)

ok. what do i put for the url thing?

https://www.neowin.net and make sure you click Test. It will retrive the html code of Neowin frontpage...thus it will create neowin temp file in your samurize directory. Then create text file to be linked to the neowin temp file. After that it should show the normal text of latest Neowin headlines. Hope it helps you.

ok. i put that address in and got a "OLE error 800C00005"

i also had the "Runmeinthebackground" going on.

Just follow the instructions.

1.) Add Active script "neowin_news.vbs"

2.) Select Function "RunMeInBackground", set run every 5 min and click Test.

3.) By now it should show "Next check at..."

4.) Add another neowin active script, this time select function "ReturnHTML" and set run every 10 min and click Test.

5.) By now on the result box it should show the html code of Neowin front page. It should create "neowin_news.tmp" file

6.) Check if neowin_news.tmp existed inside your Samurize directory. If found then you're almost done

7.) Add Text file and under "Text File to Read from" locate your "neowin_news.tmp" file. Make sure don't mark "Force update every time"

8.) By now it should show latest Neowin headlines.

9.) Optional: the "ReturnHTML" should show parameters "sURL: https://www.neowin.net". For me it should be hidden somewhere so it don't show on your samurize script. Make sure you remember that the place you hide that "ReturnHTML" script.

Hope it helps you.

thanks man. i dont know what i did, but that worked, so thanks!

[Bizkit]

ok. one more question. i knew where it was at in the old samurize, but how do you get the border around things again?

[altezza Veteran]

You mean the samurize skin?

[Bizkit]

no, like on the ram process bar, and the transparent rectangles

[altezza Veteran]

Just tick "Alpha end" on progress bar properties and set the transparency value.

Ive seen a lot of people use Winamp in their scripts and my question is if it is possible to use WMP9 instead? if it is can someone point me to a guide or tell me how?

and also, is it possible to have samurize get all the new posts on the neowin forum and possibly on the ntfs forum too? how?

thanks in advance

[whYeNQue]

i think i saw some script for wmp9 over at the official samurize.com site... try there i think its called wmp9get or sumthing

[S.MULLA]

Here is My Current samurize script.... pretty beefy, but it allows me to keep a lot of other things minimized.

* Features *

Mirc channel watching on desktop (updated with every new incoming line)

CS server statistics (all hotlinked to connect to that server (some with admin set up, some without))

HDD space (all meters hotlinked to open that drive)

Ram watching

UL/DL

Current Penny Arcade Title (hotlinked to that image)

proccessor usage

uptime

my ip (i forget it sometimes :p)

computer name (pointless, i know... but it is hotlinked to my website)

current winamp song (hotlinked to start up winamp if it is not running)

heres teh neowin.net script..

for instructions go back a few pages..some one's mentioned how to use it correctly.. :)

Ive seen that script already but its not what I meant. I would like a script that takes the new threads on the forums and shows them to me as links on the desktop. Is it possible to do? How?

thanks again

[S.MULLA]

i dont think samurize allows u to have active links..

but using some sort of active desktop..would probably allow u to do it..

you'll have to search through the april destops adn ask someone whos using an active desktop..

[PlagueWielder3k]

I know its possible with active desktop but I dont want too many things eating my ram.

thanks anyway

[Raymond Lin]

After a LOT of work and help from people in OCUK, I've got mine working!!!

[PezDspncr]

samurize has supported linking for a little while now...you just need your script to output "%l http://www.whatever.com" as part of the output and click "Allow Meter-Linkage" for the script.
