No more Sidebar. Microsoft is removing Windows Sidebar from Windows 7, but the Windows Gadgets infrastructure remains and will be expanded. In Windows 7, Gadgets can only be viewed on the desktop. As such, the Gadget Gallery found in Windows Sidebar will be globally available and renamed to Desktop Gadget Gallery.

That's good. I use the gadgets, but dislike the sidebar (especially since it keeps bl**dy disappearing.)

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

Well at least the gadgets stay, I kind of like them.

Ditto. That's why I detach them. I'm just not fond of the sidebar itself....

I must be the only person that likes and uses the sidebar, but then again I do use 4 monitors so I dont realy loose any screen space.

I use it on the BIG monitor because it makes these forums look 'more right' with the spacing, plus I do kind of like it ...

I never did like the Sidbar. The best you could say was that it looked pretty for a resource hog.

I use the sidebar, but as long as I can still use the gadgets I'm ok with not having it. Interesting, but not necessary.

Hi Ted,

That is Alvin's cousin Greedy. He's an eastern chipmunk. He has four peanuts stuffed into his mouth and is trying to figure out how to get the fifth one in far enough to get the sixth one still in my hand. They store them for winter. Pretty smart for a rodent and easily tamed if not harrassed. If I hold on to the peanut, I can pick him right off the ground. He won't let go. They're funny little critters.

Hello Gary!

Now that you mention it I see the stripe down his back, cool!
I kind of thought it was something like that.
Yeah they store things for winter like squirrels.
I'm from north eastern Ohio.

I'm having problems with puting new gadget in the sidebar, can anyone help me please

Hello kallib85,

Welcome to the Seven Forums.

Did you move the sidebar from Vista into 7? Which gadget? What happens when to try to install a gadget? Seven doesn't have a sidebar. The gadgets reside on the desktop.

Please keep us posted.

Well, I just found out what I did wrong, I did not creat a folder in the windows sidebar in program files,just had to extract with Winrar and creat a folder with the name and put .Gadget at the end.

But thanx for the answer

 

[garysgold]

Glad you got it sorted. Enjoy your stay.
