The Vista SideBar App thread

[Retrospekt]

Post your favorite sidebar applications here. I will update the first post with all applications posted. Many of them are from a great site where members make them, but the website requires you to register. It is will worth it.

Hardware Monitor

Multi Meter (Dual Core Cpu's)

Everest Meter - Must have Everest running to use.

Speedfan Gadget

DriveInfo (Pick as many drives as you want to monitor)

Battery meter for laptops. Very simple.

Hard Drive Monitor. Once again, very simple.

Windows Utilities

App Launcher (Lot more useful that on the taskbar)

Date and Time

SimpleDate (Current version is 2 posts down from top)- Shows Time and Date, but once you scroll over it there are more options such as shut down and restart.

"24" time. A clock in the style of the fox television show "24".

UpTime Monitor

Weather

iWeather. Just put in your zip code and it will provide you with very up to date weather in your area.

Search Utilities

Google search. Awesome utility if you just wanna search something real quick.

Maybe we can get this a sticky.

Are the ones off Microsoft's site okay? If so I like Simple Date.

There are other really nice ones on that site too. But I didn't find an everyday use for them. (You have to register to download)

I can't seem to find one that shows cpu temperature. Anyone?

Don't think there is one right now. Only the EVEREST Ultimate one, but that requires that you pay for it.

You need to add Everest Meter:

Everest Meter v2.0

[Retrospekt]

But do I have to have everest installed (Assuming yes) to use it?

Sorry, yes. The meter uses the values from Everest 4 Ultimate.

And does Everest have to be started at the same time, or can it just be the app running?

Edit: All for a sticky, say I.

Everest needs to be running for it to work.
