Description [UPDATE 2010.03.05] Stripe for True Launch Bar released here: [link]
Check it out.

[UPDATE 2009.09.27] One of my screenshots got featured on Lifehacker mainly due to this customization. Thanks everyone for coming over to download (and to comment and fave) this. [link]

[UPDATE 2009.09.15] In order to fix the weather part, you need to change the Weather . 2004 . dll (remove spaces, I had to add them not to let dA linkify the filename) file in the Samurize\plugins folder to a patched on found in this topic:
[link]

Also and in the weather sections should be changed to [temp] and [cond] respectively.
Both are easy modifications, but if there is a demand, I will reupload with the config changes.




[UPDATE] Changed the sam file to the latest config.

Stripe config as seen on these screenshots: [link] and [link]

After using Samurize (and all of the other widget engines) for a couple of years, finally I found the least distracting way of showing system information at the bottom 14 pixels of my screen.

The config covers:
-Gmail
-Weather
-Memory
-CPU0/CPU1
-Drives C/D/E/F
-Wifi signal strength and SSID
-Download/Upload speed
-IP address (Interface must be selected both for Wifi and Ethernet if both used, active will be shown)
-Battery
-Uptime
-Room for extensions

This is for Vista. An update with the XP version follows. (Different Gmail message counter and Wifi ssid / signal strength method is needed. The rest are the same.)

Please fav and comment if you download it.

I'm not sure I know what you mean.
The download is not the application launcher icon dock from the preview but the system information bar below that.

This looks very good. I may have to switch over to Samurize from Rainmeter now.

It's high time to switch to Samurize. However I'm sure it can be easily ported over Rainmeter. Still I decided to switch from rainy to Samurize because it's a lot easier to configure once you're comfortable with the editor. What it lacks are the ls-bangs from rainmeter.

I downloaded Samurize. So disappointed...it doesn't work on Windows 7.

According to the samurize forum it can be installed, then run in XP compatibility mode.

I'm not sure how to do it as I never tried Win7, but if it is simlar to Vista, you rightclick client.exe, go to properties, select the Compatibility tab, and check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select XP. You might have to do this for config.exe as well, which is the configuration editor.

I tried it just now. The error came on when I opened the installer. So I set the compatibility mode for the installer to XP and it just didn't open. I got one of those stupid "Program has stopped working" boxes.

I'm going to have to wait until I can install XP mode for 7...

Can't you run the installer as administrator?

Do I want to? Or do I want a port?

ethsza In reply to monochromatic-stains [2009-06-03 09:11:41 +0000 UTC]

You can do it if you want. If you don't, I might try to do it if there are such requests.

I would if I could but I can't.
Wouldn't know where to start, and no time..
