    Gadget Opacity Not Working


    Can anyone help? The gadget opacity isn't working. I can change the opacity in the gadget's settings. However, it's opacity doesn't change at all. I have changed it in the settings and restarted the system. That didn't help either. So, I suspect a .dll file may have been deleted with a registry cleaner. Can anyone please help? Thanks.

I installed the All CPU Meter gadget but when I add to my desktop, it shows as a static picture doing nothing -- could it be the fact the PC is AMD processor based or what could be wrong ? I have it running on my other PC ( Intel based ).
Would like to know if there is any way to make my gadgets 0% opaque until I mouse over them because I like to see a clean desktop and my wallpaper unobstructed? Anyone know a way to do this? Thanks WSF

Is it possible to change a gadget's mouse-over opacity? For example, I'm using Ultimate Explorer at 10% opacity... I'd like it to remain at this opacity while in use.
So i really love the sevenforums gadget, but the icons aren't sowing up. The only one I have downloaded was the one on the first page of the thread it's on. Are there any updates? Thanks for your help. Windows 7 Home Starter 64 bit.
