Wednesday, April 23, 2003 by 3m0 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
i saw a wallpaper a few days ago that had CPU stats and general PC hardware information displayed on the desktop as well as having... i guess you could call them buttons. they were text on the wallpaper but when clicked they opened up a program. i dont know what program was used. no other windows are open, these stats and buttons are all integrated onto the wallpaper... dunno what its called. im a n00b.
any help appreciated.

You might want to look at Sysmetrix, too. It doesn't account for buttons or objects on the desktop, but it might have been the app that displayed the information.

You can always upload it as a screenshot, or put it on your desktop.

maybe a better idea, if Boxxi does not know what it is.

most likely either:
Samurize (http://www.samurice.com)
or
CoolMon (http://coolmon.arsware.org/)

Looks like one of the proggys that Snowman linked to above. I took a look at both, and the coolmon one is pretty nice!

It's Samurize that is used to generate those stats on that SS.
How can I tell?!
hint:
Systray
Icon
"S"
hehe
but Coolmon could do exactly the same for that matter!

If you can find the screenshot again, or one like it, I'm sure someone here can point ya in the right direction.
