Hi guys this is my first post here and I wanted to ask, do all Vista Gadgets work in Windows 7? I just dont want to mess up my new laptop and these Gadgets are getting dull. Also which Gadgets do you use?
-Thanks
RJ
P.S. Sorry if this has been posted, I tried searching and I couldnt find anything
Yes, they do I believe. Download a vista gadget, extract the components to a folder that should be named something like "(gadget name).Gadget". Copy and paste it to C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets and then open up the box that shows you available gadgets and it should be there.
The standard ones do. Some others don't - e.g. AppLauncher. But you can install the Vista sidebar in Win7: Vista Windows Sidebar - Reinstate on Windows 7
Which ones do you guys use? If there is a thread for this can you please tell me, pulling a search didnt find it.
There's a bunch here...Add Windows Vista Gadgets or here...Personalization Gallery - Windows 7 themes, wallpapers, and gadgets - Microsoft Windows
I'm using the following without issue...
- All CPU Meter - Windows Live Gallery
- iTunes Accessory 2 - Windows Live Gallery
