only thing is you have to edit the .ini files if you want to change the font color

for centering icons

Not very crafty @ customizing, but I like a somewhat simplistic minimalistic feel for starting out the new year, fresh.

My background changes every 5 minutes. The CD Art Cover ties into iTunes and is fully functional. The Calendar, Tasks, and Events tie into Microsoft Office's Outlook program and also are fully functional. The Weather is accurate and also fully functional. The Heads Up Display (HUD) Clock is actually a Windows Vista/7 gadget so no extra processes running Rainmeter. Only Rainlendar, CD Art Display (CAD), and native Windows 7 gadget engine.

Happy New Year Everyone!

It's "CD Art Display" http://www.cdartdisplay.com/

Thanks, works great, also could you possibly link me to that HUD Clock you have on your desktop? You said it was a Gadget, could you possibly give me the link to it, or upload it for me, Because im finding it hard to find it on the gadgets website, I would really appreciate it! :)

Thanks

    • Just when I thought EA couldn't go lower. They surpassed my expectations
    • The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a deal on a variant of its A8 Mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8945HS, which came out in 2024 with a TDP of just 45W, with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.9 GHz; although we never reviewed this variant, we did check out the Ryzen 9 version. As a reminder of what you get, below are the specifications for this Mini PC. GEEKOM A8 Dimensions 112.4 mm x 112.4 mm x 37 mm Weight 450g CPU Ryzen 7 8745HS (8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB L3 cache, 3.8 - 4.9 GHz, TDP: 45 W) cTDP: 35-54W (Default 45W) Graphics AMD Radeon™ 780M Graphics 12 RDNA 3 Graphics Cores 2700MHz 768 shading units / stream processors (12 CUs), 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU XDNA architecture (Up to 16 NPU TOPS) Memory 16GB Dual-channel Crucial DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM (up to 64GB) Storage 1TB NVMe M.2 (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4) Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth v5.2 Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6E Kensington Lock No SD Card reader Yes (left side) Adapter 120W, 6.32A, 19V Power Adapter Front I/O Ports 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x 3.5mm front stereo headset jack Rear I/O Ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C with Power delivery up to 15W (5V 3A) 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 2 x HDMI 2.0b 1 x 2.5G RJ45 LAN 1 x DC-in Deal Price $519 (buying links below) GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being the slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB) and DDR5 memory (16GB). This knocks $350 off the price compared to the $999 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded. As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU. The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws. What’s In The Box 1 x A8 Mini PC 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8. In short, you have everything you need to get started. All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product. If needed, you can RMA or return locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, mainland E.U. has a German warehouse). GEEKOM A8 at GEEKOM U.S. for $519 was $649 (20% off) GEEKOM A8 at GEEKOM U.K. for £503 was £629 (20% off) GEEKOM A8 at GEEKOM CA for $735.20 was $919 (20% off) Use coupon code NWGKA820 when checking out. This flash deal expires on July 2. Next up is the highest savings on the A7 Max series of Mini PC in the Spring Sale. The GEEKOM [2026 Edition] A7 MAX with AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS, 16GB DDR5, and 1TB SSD. Operating System: Windows 11 Pro CPU Model: Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU Speed: 5.2 GHz Cache Size: 24 MB Graphics Card Description: Integrated Graphics Coprocessor: AMD Radeon 780M Memory Storage Capacity: 16GB DDR5 SSD: 1 TB We reviewed this Mini PC back in January, and praised it for its modern internals like a dedicated NPU and DDR5 memory; as such, it is more than capable of keeping up with today's offerings of Mini PC on the market. GEEKOM A7 Max at GEEKOM U.S. for $587 (was $699) 16% off GEEKOM A7 Max at GEEKOM U.K. for £551 was £689 (20% off) Use coupon code NWGKA7MAX when checking out. This flash deal expires on July 2. Huge Summer Sale If the above deals don't tickle your fancy, from today, there are deep discounts on a range of other GEEKOM products. From June 15 to June 30, the GEEKOM Official Store will be running its Summer Sale, with discounts starting from 15% off across the entire lineup, up to 50%! This is their biggest promotion of the year so far, offering pricing that is even lower than select Prime Day deals. You can check out the discounts at the dedicated Summer Sale landing pages below. GEEKOM U.S. Summer Sale GEEKOM U.K. Summer Sale What's more, all products from GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product.
