Tews, First, Thanks a lot!! Second, I can't activate it. How do you convert to a .gadget extension?

No it was zipped.

I found the way. Rename to .bat then to .gadget and the double click.

Man that is a nice gadget. I think that you can see in the left hand corner there is a white dot. HUMMM, how'd that get there. I like the black background. I'm more of a conservative guy. Sleek and crisp.

Sergio can you can the color of the flaoting upper background?

Show me a few tweaks. I'll let you know (if you don't mind)

So should i change the background, but remain it to be black?

I like black. Maybe you can give it a silk black or even another color.
I like black and orange or Black and red. It's hard to tell, but a black background is nice or maybe brushed metal or different fonts for the main date on top.

I'm really already amased by the gadget but i've seen a few things that you changed and sometimes just a slight color change, a font, glow, makes a difference. But the background glow would look nicer with blue (I think)
