    If you are still looking for a way to do this, see this article by Jack Wallen on TechRepublic:

    How do I make Windows 7 desktop gadgets visible on mouse-over only? | Microsoft Windows | TechRepublic.com

    It provides all necessary steps and can be done in a couple of minutes. If this is being done for multiple gadgets, make sure that you reset the GadgetOpacity to "1" for each gadget in the settings.ini file.

    function setGadgetOpacity(opacity)
    {
    System.Gadget.Settings.write("PrivateSetting_GadgetOpacity", opacity);
    }

    call that function from anywhere in the gadget javascript file
    setGadgetOpacity('0');

    I think I remember reading somewhere that windows sidebar gadgets don't allow for 0 opacity
    Right, 20% is the lowest opacity. But that is nearly invisible.
