[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 <temp> and <cond> 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.

Stripe for Samurize by ~ethsza So simple it's perfect. A clean and minimal design with a no fuss GUI that sits along the base of your screen out of harms way, keeping you fully informed as to whats going on in your pc. ( Suggested by *EnzuDes1gn and Featured by `mrrste )

Wouldn't help you much as the weatherinfo provider has stopped providing weatherinfo last november the way samurize was using it, so currently weather is not working in my samurize configs.

Once I'll have time to deal with it, I'll find out something and update with a new release.

Dunno, never tried it on Win7.
What I know is that Samurize do work on 7. The differences in XP and Vista was the way how you detect IP address, wifi SSID and signal stregth. As far as I know there's not such architectural change between win7 and vista as were between vista and XP, so it might as well work without further modifications.
So give it a try and you tell me please. :)
