Matt, have you still got this wallpaper?

Or does anyone know the name so I can d/l it myself?

TIA :)
 
Hmmmm.. Where do I begin.

First download Samurize and install. Then download this:

Plugin

Place that in the plugin directory within samurize.

Next download this example config:

Example Config

Place the file UKTV.ini in the Configs folder. While you're there create a new folder in Skins called UKTV.

Open up the samurize editor and open the file UKTV.ini. At the bottom where it says updated [Not Yet Executed] click on it. Click on the source tab on the right hand side, select the plugin UKTV5.dll and select Global settings. Choose the channels you want by moving them to the right. Select all check boxes and click ok. Click test function. Then go UKTV folder you created and see if there are text files and timing files.

Then go back to the editor and edit the text files as appropriate. E.g. under BBC1 select the text file, click on the source tab and point it to the text file downloaded in the UKTV folder, e.g. UKTVBBC1 London & South East.txt. Do the same for the other channels.

For the metres showing how long the channel has left, click on one and then go to the source tab. Then click on Configure and select the channel accordingly. Save your config, then open samurize and select your config. It should now work.

Any problems go the uktv samurize forums.

Have you read the tutorial? It is quite good.

Because I’m nice I’ll give you the cut down version.

If you want to add the processor usage, in the editor right-click anywhere and select AddPerfMon. Select your processor from performance object. Then select % Processor time. Then in the right hand side select _Total.

For the temp, you have to install motherboard monitor. Or if you have an asus mobo you can download a plugin for asus probe (what I did). Then select Hardware Status -> Add MBM. Experiment with the sensor values as I don't know what yours will be. If you downloaded the asus plugin just right click and select add plugin. Select the asus plugin and whatever function you want.

For the Network stuff, add a performance monitor and select Network Interface.

For the rest, it’s a combo of adding active scripts and selecting ExtendedDrive or ExtendedProps and selecting their functions.

Have a mess about.
