Okay this is my first attempt of putting a skin on anything so don't laugh atlot at me. I am thinking about adding a network bar somewhere for my internal/external IP addresses, upload/download and network drive status.

Wow, that's a really impressive config... bit huge for my tests, but very nice job overall!

This is my first post but I've been hanging around neowin for quite a while. Decided to post my config since I'm kind of proud of it and all...

Give Stevofc credits. I also modified his sam script. Although I don't use it anymore as I find samurize and rainlendar uses too much system resources. Only things I still run is Y'z Dock and Y'z Toolbar. Click on DevianArt link at the bottom to get my script.

Yeah, the basic idea of it all was somewhat from his bar but I restarted from scratch. I do want to thank the creator of the GIMP icons as well.

I have taken my samurize skin that some of you saw earlier and have changed it greatly. I have added my network computers with pictures and network upload and download information. I also added a part that tells me the most recent post from the xoxide forums. Also by double clicking on the forum topic such as "case gallery" it will automatically open internet explorer and take me to the case gallery. Well here is the skin and comments are appreciated.

obs0lete ... Is there a prob with your config? Its been working fine for a week or two, and over the last few days it keeps screwing up with the weather part of things. I.E. when starting the weather part stays on NA and my system locks up until I close Samurize via the task manager. I have uninstalled and reinstalled samurize (as there was no way I could find of changing the config without it locking up) and found that my other configs are fine, but as soon as I reload your config it goes loopy again :( Any suggestions?

Hmm I'm not sure why it would do that. The only thing I can suggest when it happens is to delete your DesktopWeather30min.xml and DesktopWeather120min.xml files (they are in C:\Program Files\Samurize\Scripts) and then reload the config and hope for the best.

Had tried that already, no joy :( Out of curiosity I tried the original version from a while back which I had archved, and that works perfectly (apart from the icons not updating, even though there is a whole row of Samurize icons). It just seems to be the new version thats screwing up (I made sure I replaced the weatherscript from the older version to the new one when necessary)

Any other suggestions?

Problem sorted, apparantly a few people have been having similar problems with the weather script over the last few days (not you config obs0lete) and all is working fine again now. Maybe weather.com were messing about again :)

Anyhow, glad to say your config is now working again obs0lete ... Knew it wouldn't be your fault, as it had been working fine for ages before now :)

Thanks for the positive feedback! :)

I made some major revisions to my samurize...

:: Rev. 1.1 ::

New Updates:

- Added scrolling feature for long titles.

- Changed the position of the clock and added a "blinking" indicator for seconds. (1 blink per 2 seconds)

- Changed the size of the boarders and the relative position of objects to optimize the looks.

- Added PLAYING and PAUSED indicator.

- Other known bugs fixed.

Known problems: (These problems relate to the plugins)

- Radio broadcasting titles don't refresh unless you manually "reload" samurize.

- Scrolling screws up when the title is centered... that's why the title is not centered any more.

- I wasn't able to find a font named "small fonts" in my fonts folder. Not sure if its Windows XP default font.

It is only used on the network transfer, "IN" and "OUT," indicator.

Does anyone know how to correct these problems? ...especially titles for radio.

I've included all the possible fonts I could find that I used on this. Let me know if the fonts don't display properly...

      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 Jawad96 · Posted

      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.
