What Vista sidebar gadgets do you use?

M///Power · March 12th, 2008, 11:10 AM

I use CPUmeter and MSNWeather.

Just wanted to know what other people use.

ESPNSTI · March 12th, 2008, 02:22 PM

Daily Dilbert, Multi Meter, Sphere Walpaper Cycler, Blister HDD.

EDIT: pictures, good idea.

dont you guys find sidebar annoying sometimes? it takes up too much space... if i get dual 22 setup then i might give the program a shot.

Lupin_IV · March 13th, 2008, 07:27 AM

It's under my windows most of the time.

M///Power · March 13th, 2008, 10:35 AM

on my old 17 inch screen it did take up a good bit of space.

However, on my new 22 inch screen I can run the sidebar with no problem.

eddysdaman · March 15th, 2008, 12:05 PM

Nothing fancy. This is my laptop, but my desktop has similar sidebar.

MadCow809 · March 16th, 2008, 12:56 AM

any particular website where you guys get the gadgets from?

and i dont understand the point of having an analog watch on the sidebar, when you have a working digital clock with world time on the taskbar. But programs like weather report, currency converter, Network bandwidth monitor, and some URL shortcuts manager should be quite nice.
