Windows "sidebar" gadgets - no longer supported?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
So now that MS doesnt keep a database of the gadgets, and there were quite a few good one's, does anyone know of a reputable site (just googling gadgets and downloading what looks cool sounds like a fast track to a quick format) where they have continued on where MS has left off?

Thanks ahead of time.

This cropped up recently-
I had bummed the old MS out of(ahem) a few re-installs(W7HP)for new hardware
(I'm an upgrade junkie)
I felt guilty.
So when I installed a new OE W7Pro onto my new SSD/MB combo(Mistress)
I needed to get my desktop back to familiar...
I like Igogo for "top process monitor"
Addagaget for "Drives Meter",&"Network Monitor"
Core Temp by ALCPU.com(must also have Core Temp)
Each has add'l gadgets but these suffice for me.
Others have mentioned Rainmeter?Rainlendar?...
AVG has one,AI Suite on ASUS MB's have them.
I think I saw a MS WMP W7gadget somewhere recently-I did not select it for use.
I guess we need to learn how to code?


(Hey MS!I used to love trying out gadgets!
I would go to gadget site weekly-another missed opportunity.
I miss it!!)
