Gadgets on top
I really used to like my Vista sidebar because I could always see all my gadgets. Although it is easy to tweak the sidebar into Windows7, some of my favorite gadgets do not work in x64 (only in x86).
So I put some available gadgets (Windows7 style) above the taskbar. Unfortunately they disappear when I open a window. But there is help: With WIN Key+G they appear on top and disappear again with the next click.
