Reply to What would you like changed? in Poweruser Stardock Forums

Two ideas: - Since users will probably be driven here quite a lot from WC, and some of them may not know much about podcasts, it would be good to have a bit of summary somewhere of what they actually are. - A gadget or widget for Poweruser.TV to make new shows more noticeable. It could also have the ability to automatically download podcasts as they become available, and then play them when specified.

Reply to A Little More Appreciation Wouldn't Hurt You. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Reply to Fear of sex is essential for civilisation in Misc JoeUser Forums

Microsoft Video Screensaver in Windows Software WinCustomize Forums

Some people may have downloaded the WMP video screensaver a while ago, but, to their dismay, it only worked with WMP 9, not, surprisingly, 10. Now Microsoft have just released a new screensaver (Microsoft Video Screensaver) that fills the void created by that issue.

Strangely enough, it [ver. 1.0.5] doesn't show up when I check for updates under the advanced part in the options dialogue, even though I have told it to check for updates to Firefox. Has anyone else noticed this?

Reply to Windows Media Player 10 to system tray? in Windows Software WinCustomize Forums

The lavishly-titled 'Windows Media Bonus Pack for Windows XP' has a powertoy that you're probably looking for. It's basically a tray control for WMP that, when clicked, will play/pause whatever's playing, and can be used to hide WMP. Get it at this link: http://www.wmplugins.com/ItemDetail.aspx?ItemID=7
