:) 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.

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By sphbecker · Posted

      It depends on how technical of an answer you want. Does it stop manufacture drivers? Yes, the universal driver is the only thing that interfaces with the printer hardware. However, print support apps (PSAs) are the new way to provide that functionality you speak of, and they integrate directly into the print dialog box, so the user doesn't see any difference at all. This is nothing new...this has been the preferred way to do print drivers for almost 8 years! The only thing changing here is that the older printer model drivers of the past are being deprecated. I highly suspect that you yourself have installed a print support app described as a driver package from the manufacture's support page, had it work exactly as expected, without realizing it was using the universal IPP driver under the covers. For example, USB keyboards have all used the generic HID driver for just about as long as they have existed, but that doesn't stop manufacture "drivers" from enabling more features.

      Wow..... 1.8GB of RAM usage. That's just a bit more than MS Teams or VS Code uses.

      Manufacturers will be able to ship printer-specific functions through their support apps (their companion software, in other words). But no, drivers won't be needed from them anymore, only the universal one included with Windows. Think about this as printers all agreeing to a stardandized API for common functions, all talking the same language and supporting the most common functionality via that API, so only a single driver is needed to talk to them. Any additional functionality not handled by that driver will be provided by the companion software for the printer.
