Desktop Sidebar (like Vista)

Post by ayu »

Well, i found one thing that i liked about Vista, the sidebar. It's pretty fun to play with. But, it's a resource eater and only works good for Vista.

So, i was checking around and found this ^^

http://www.desktopsidebar.com/

Really good sidebar =) using it atm on the XP machine, gonna try to find something cool like it for Linux as well.

Nothing to worry about mate ;P

It doesn't work in Vista (no use having it there anyway)

There are modifications so that you can use the Vista sidebar with XP, but it's really bad and hard to get rid of (i heard)

Well as of now I'm saving up for a new laptop, so when i get that i will try it out on this one and make make a tutorial on how to remove it just in case. Do you mind posting a picture of what you picked and how it looks on your desktop? Thought it would be interesting to know.

im not a big fan of the desktop sidebar, its to big.

I am using Aqua.exe right now which is something like a mac menu that u can place on whichever side of the screen you want. ( will post screenie later)
You can add programs to it if you want.
