Samurize

A free system monitoring and desktop enhancement engine for Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista. The core of Samurize is the desktop client (client.exe), which displays a config (similar to a widget/gadget) anywhere on the screen. There is also a taskbar client, a clock client, a server, and a screensaver. The client's main purpose is to display information about the computer, such as CPU usage, available RAM/HD space, network conditions, uptime, etc. It can also be extended by using scripts (vbs, js, pls, py, rb) and plugins (dll), which provide virtually unlimited possibilities. There are scripts/plugins which can get weather reports, news headlines, play music, and much more. The other main component of Samurize is the WYSIWYG config editor (config.exe), which is used to create the configs. A config consists of a collection of meters, and is saved with the ini file extension in the configs folder of the Samurize installation path (C:\Program Files\Samurize\Configs). The client is then used to load the config and display it on the screen. … More Edit

  Fabled desktop modder/enhancer. Plausibly still the most proficient available - particularly when coalesced with the numerous scripts and plug-ins available.

  A really cool program that can display almost anything on your desktop. weather, email, RSS, CPU and memory usage, text files, and PLENTY of other things. It acts like a layer over your wallpaper. There is a slight learning curve but it can be overcome easily by experimentation and editing the default configurations.

  Wakoopa doesn't quite track my stats right, as Samurize is running in my background about 24/7.

  I've seen some amazing desktops running Samurize to display all sorts of things, but it's so freaking hard to make anything I do look anywhere near as good. It's not the kind of program you just download and run. You need to tweak it.

  I have been using CoolMon 1.0 for years and I needed a replacement. CoolMon development had ceased for a while so I decided to use Samurize. I was able to recreate the coolmon config onto samurize and add graphs and other meters that I wasn't able to do with coolmon.

  I have never used this 'Samurize' program. Wakoopa is wrong.
