For anyone who likes the odd gadget on their desktop (I distinctly heard Mucks wince then...;) ) did you know that you can get a Vista-style sidebar for XP? You don't have to display the whole sidebar though, because you can just choose to run a single element...... such as the analogue clock for example.

I liked the Vista clock, so decided to get one for the XP machine - it's great. You can vary the colours of each part of the clock and size it to suit yourself, it displays time, date, second hand; it chimes on the hour and half-hour - and even has a built-in alarm! It's called the "Softcode Analog Clock" and it can be found HERE There are not just clocks though... you can choose from a whole list of goodies including "Share Tunes" which is iTunes mini player size music player.

:cool:

Actually, I do use Vista's 'sidebar' and have a couple of wedgegits ... ;)

I don't like Yahoo, so I won't bother with XP. :D

Have you stopped running XP altogether now then Mucks...?
No ... the MJW PC is running XP, if I need to, I can "play" with XP. ;)

The 'Old Girl' runs Linux and I still haven't put the BSA PC back into operation, yet ... I is err, a little short on funds. I hope to have some good news on that front this week, but I ain't holding my breath. :D

We don't need it ... Vista has it's own. :p

What would be nice, is a Temp gadget ... but I'm not too worried on the bells-n-whistles.

I have the weather, clock & Capital Gold Radio ... :thumb:

oh, here you are, by the way ...
