Hi all,
An update to Serious Samurize was just released last night and it now includes "Meter Linking".
With "meter linking" one can, if one wants, get even closer to the functionality of Konfabulator without the use of DeskTopX.
Here's an example of some of my own widgets I just modified, in about 30 minutes, to give me more Konfabualtor-like functionality:
Twas fun, easy and it made my cojones smile all night long!

Can you hook us up with some of your samurize scripts?
Where did you get that media player thing - are you going to share your config?
Hi all,
I'm more then happy to share the scripts, config and image files. But I'm not going to do it today, I'm just too tired.

P.S. lynchknot: I got the iTunes Remote package from Deskmod.com. They have a Konfabulator section there. I just extracted tbe archive using StuffIt for Win and used their PNGs as image sources within Samurize.
i .... don't get it. somebody explain it por favor? that, or just hook us up with a script. that'd be nice.
thanx!

Felix187,
I'm not sure what you don't get, but I will explain a bit more since I have a feeling you are questioning what is the big deal with the meter linking in Samurize.
Prior to Samurize implementing meter linking, it was for display purposes only. One could display, if one liked, system stats, text files, web site info etc etc all via Samurize configs in conjunction with any Windows Scripting language.
With this new Meter Linking functionality, Samurize can now generate truly interactive displays. For example, one could display system stats in a nice graphic overlay and upon clicking on a certain area of the overlay one could then display the relevant information about that statistic. Or one could create a weather display that when clicked on would bring up a weather website. Or one could have a LED clock that when clicked on would bring up the system time and date properties panel, which I used myself. 
I feel this new function in Samurize opens up alot of possibilities for creative designers and programmers to bring new and exciting functionality to the desktop.
All and all, it's good shiznit, man!

ah, got it Grusic. i was confused, i thought this enabled us to change the images when certain commands happened. my mistake. thanks for the explination!
Felix187,
One could change the images, if one liked, but it involves a funky ass workaround.
Someone posted an example script on Samurize.com that goes out a kills a particular instance of a program and restarts it.
So that in combination with some fancy scripting could in theory change the images that Samurize would use.
I may try to put it together as an experiement for my own use later and if it proves efficent enough, I may release it or post a tutorial.

The only thing I noticed, is that the widget's don't work if you have it pinned to the desktop. But they work great as normal window, or on top. Is that just me or is anyone else experiencing that ???

FatAxl,
That's a known limitation according to the Samurize developers. They *may* change that later on though.
I experience that also with my own widgets. It's not a real problem though, I just set them to "normal windows" and let em roll.
Bling,

Grusic....... can you please share the scripts, config and image files. It LOOKS SWEET!!!!
Thx in advance.

I can't wait to get my hands on your scripts and stuff!!! It looks great!!! How long did it take you to do that stuff? I'll have to take the time to learn how to do that stuff eventually... Great job!!!

If you annoy me about it, you can figure it out for your damned self. I'll reply if and when I feel like it
2 things... dont get mad if people get antsy after you promise somethingl; and 2, are these scripts all yours or half yours half duckies?...
here is the link to duckies widgets... it has a desktop x clock... samurizer weather... desktop x airplane schedueler and a desktopx mp3 detector

ps i see grusic you have been there too showing off... whats the point... show your desktop and say that you customized dont even bring up the fact that you wont share... it just causes problems..
as you can tell if you look around, grusic isn't much of a model human being, let alone skinner/customizer, in an environment where everyone shares, and gets along, grusic tries to be the 3 year old with the only yellow truck in the sandbox 
me has a feeling that this thread is just going to go way down hill from here..... 
Oh for ****s sakes! People have other things going on in their lives besides AQUA!
I'm not going to explain myself to anyone here other then to say I am exhausted at the moment.
If you want some help on Serious Samurize, check out this thread: http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/index.php?a...&f=7&t=2196&hl=
I posted a link to a Visual Samurize Tutorial also.
If that's not enough for you all, then **** the whole thing. I'm not here to please you!
I'm doing this for FREE! It's not like any of you people are paying for the time and effort I put into it!
I don't mind sharing anything I have, seriously, but I'm not going to spoon feed the info to you all either! I'm not a damn teacher and I'm definitely not your Momma. If you want somebody that's going to be nice to you all the time, you've got the wrong person.

Oh yeah, and the way I was talking on that post over at AquaXP was a *joke*!

magbi9,
Don't do this to me. I like you and I want to keep it that way!
I said I am exhausted, so I have a quick trigger at the moment. As a matter of fact, I think I'm going to go on retreat for a few days!
ok, I want say nothing!! 
Me edit the post : Grusic calm down! j0r cojones is getting out of hand!!
Peace
