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):

MD3-config-closed.jpg

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.

    • Chrome is Google's commercial web browser product; it consists of their proprietary features (Googlified everything including profile sync) plus their chromium project barebones web browser. Google developers control the chromium project. The chromium project is the "core" for the web browser product from other vendors including Microsoft Edge (their own proprietary features), Opera (their own features), Brave (their own features), etc... The "downstream" teams at Microsoft, Opera, Brave, etc., can either integrate their original MV2-supporting code into future builds, or they can integrate chromium wholesale and simply add-on their own features/functionalities -- their 'current' build pipeline, so to speak. THIS is why changes at the chromium project affect so many products besides only Google's commercial Chrome browser. -- Edit to add: The chromium project is open-source, and is the piece that's Google's code contribution to the W3C and world wide web at large; there are no licensing fees for others to use the code in their own products... which is what they do. Other browser engines do exist (Firefox's for example) but it's nearly impossible to have both engines bundled into the same 1 browser product.
    • You're comparing settler colonies to colonized war torn nations. It's easy to become the richest by coming in and stealing other people's land, culture and resources.
    • ABP has become "old news" when MV3 started rolling out. They've gone downhill and is now simply irrelevant..... in my experience.
    • About two years ago, I switched to Brave and haven't looked back.
    • FWIW StatCounter has been trash for over 25+ years! Back in the day (circa 2000 and GeoCities pre-Blogger era), it was useful to paste a number on your webpage indicating how many visitors you had. In the ensuing 25+ years, they've grown in reputation and changed their ways... but their overall consumer value has remained abysmal. Serious marketing agencies only cite StatCounter when there's literally no other sources available to support any marketing claims! They are the absolute lowest threshold serious companies use to push any sort of narrative about this-or-that happening. Besides their credibility being what it is, they are forever subject to quality issues. They're so bad that my DNS-level ad-filter prevents me from even viewing their main website! HA!
