Side Bar Gadget

[SteveC]

Is it possible to reduce the size of the side bar gadgets as I find them to
big for my laptop screen

I think you can slide the gadget border, thereby reducing size of
everything, but I'm not certain how/if I did accomplish that. Try it.

Hi,

Right click the gadget Sidebar area and click on Help. According to MS, the
width of the gadget sidebar is fixed. Also, the sizes of the gadgets can not
be adjusted in the Sidebar, but if you drag (Move) some of the gadgets from
the Sidebar onto a different area of the Desktop, some of the gadgets will
display larger.

hi all,

this is my second day using my laptop vista format, I have found that I can
reduce the gadgets individually in size. I go to the top of the one I want
to shrink and when I get the double arrow, I left click and hold and then
move it up or down until I like the size..

Hope this helps.

Debbie

Which gadgets have you been successful in resizing?

Hi Oscar,

I currently have the weather, google gadgets calendar, Bible verse of the
day, to do list, and Flower pot. These are all attached and then I have the
battery life monitor detached and on top. I have increased and decreased
all of them plus a few others that I removed after adding them and finding
out I didn't like them.

Hi Debie
Lucky you, no double arrow on mine, are you using the standard windows
gadgets or some from another program?

Greetings Steve,

Not sure it came with the laptop. I pulled the info under about it looks
like it's from google. So far I like it, but as I've said before this Vista
is new to me and (3 days)
