Ok guys.....where's the best Samurize configs??

[blurredvision]

After viewing a thread last night, I've now got all kinds of toys on my desktop, from the Yz Dock to Samurize. I think I've finally got this Samurize thing worked out to where I can change settings to how I want them, and get everything to show like I want it. The only problem I'm having is with things that access the internet like weather and mail servers.

But anyways, I can't draw worth a damn, on paper or in photoshop. I'm not a good designer at all. So I'm looking for some preconfigured Samurize ini's to use. I've checked DeskMod, but the only one I halfway like gives me a floating point overflow error. I'm using one that came with the inital download, but I want something a little more flashy. I've checked samurize.com, naturally, but I don't seem to notice any config to download, only scripts.

Can anybody point me in the right direction? I've googled, but found nothing. Thanks.

Yeah somebody give us some configs. I'll be damned if i'm going to program this on my own.

may i also make a laziness request? i'd be fine if you wanted to put your email or something on the desktop to show that it is yours to give you credit.

my desktop

i can send you the scripts if you want.

they are two seperate ones. i didn't change the top script much, except that i added the weather block to the right and changed the drives that it reported. you're gonna need motherboard monitor running on your comp if you want the stats to show. the script on the bottom is based one i downloaded and modified from samurize. it has clickable headlines that take you to the specific article as well as report the weather. although the temo works fine, for some reason it always seems to be "cloudy". hmmmmmmmm

edit: i changed the bottom script somewhat from the screenshot. i modified my theme and changed the font to better reflect the new style.

What weather script are you using and what exactly is wrong with it? all you have to do is edit the script by sticking in your zip.

did i add it wrong to task manager or something? its rather annyoing. thanks.

Hey man, we'll have to get together and have a beer sometime. Are you old enough? Do you have a misses to bring along?

 

[ThePresence]

I made this one this morning. I can send the PNG's to anyone who want's 'em.

EDIT: It's funny, because I first DL'd SAmurize yesterday, and I was gonna delete it, but I gave it one more shot and figured it out. But it drove me nearly insane before. It can get frustrating.
