Basic Guide to Samurize

Minimoose @ Neowin Forums has written a great guide for beginners to getting started with creating your own samurize creations.
After reading his guide you can really explore the world of Samurize.
What is Samurize ?

I have used Samurize for quite a while now... luv this progy !! I have nothing on my Desktop except Samurize :)

Even my Screen Saver is of Samurize showing the system temps and fan RPM's and voltages and Net speeds :ohyeah:
 
Here are 2 pics....

in the desktop picture I have written in red what each number indicates... below the gfx cards temp the 2 are for External USB HDDs - these show up numbers of balance FREE space when atached - named P for PATA and S for the eSATA cases.

I get the same temp for the CPU and Chip temps of 35C even though I DO NOT have a fan attached to my Thermalright Ultra 120 heat sink (not the Extreme). The 2 fan numbers of 255 indicate no fan attached to the MoBo's fan header.

never mind. i found how to do it. had to do it through perfmon
 
Here is what someone I came across in a forum has done with Samurize.... he even has a Doppler Radar readout on the desktop :O ...great possibilities... I am too lazy to do anything even close to this.... :)

nice. but a bit too much i feel.

have added progress bars now. simple looking. not too flashy. will post the screen later when i get home.

eazy how did u add the temp readings? did u use the rivatuner plugin? also do u need to keep rivatuner running for it to read all the info.

Samurize picks up all temp readings from Mother Board Monitor which I have running - and Mother Board Monitor gets the GFX card readings from Ati Tool which is also running.

ok so i guess ill need to keep rivatuner running for it to get the temps from it.
 
after spending some more time with samurize, made some glasstube progress bars & finally ended up with this. nothing flashy like the 1's on the samurize site.

 
Trust me its not as complicated as it looks , just got thorough that Neowin Thread.

Its really simple , i too thought that its really gonna be a pain but once i got a hang of it then the possibilities are endless only restricted by ur imagination.
 
heh heh! awesome tool this! but i cant seem to get winamp settings other than title name in this. is it because i'm using 64bit windows xp?
