    If you have issues with the weather plugin, you need to create an account at weather underground, and submit a request for an "API" key. They are free, but in order to receive weather xml, you are required to have one now. Setting up the plugin is fairly easy, if you are somewhat tech oriented. Go here for weather abbreviations to input into the plugin.

    If anyone needs help, just buzz me in this thread. Enjoy!

    First of all, thanks a lot for sharing this. It looks great.

    I am currently having GT80 Titan. I downloaded MSI Samurize.zip (It has 3 folder - configs/icons/plugins) from the link - < MSI G Series Samurize config> you provided. But I am not sure how to activate this in Windows 8.1. If you can share the step, that will be great.

    You first have to install Samurize the program. To install it though, you need to right click the installer and troubleshoot compatibility, and choose windows xp sp2 mode. I have been trying to get source code, so I can update it, but am unable to get in touch with any of the old crew. Once installed the directory structure will be there, and you will see where to place the folders that you downloaded from me.
