The New Desktop Gadgets in Windows 7

Earlier, Windows Vista introduced desktop gadgets. However, they did not have much success and were replaced by Windows Sidebar. In Windows 7, Microsoft redesigned the desktop gadgets, making them more customizable and easier to install. These new additions to Windows have several advantages over their predecessors. You can customize the look and feel of these new windows tools by adding your own icons. In addition, they have improved the way they work.

One of the most important features of the new desktop gadgets is that they are removable. Users no longer have to rely on a sidebar to show the gadgets. This allows users to customize the look of their desktop to suit their needs. For example, a user can easily change the location of a clock on their desktop. In addition, users can change the color of their clocks and display time. If they prefer an analog clock, they can change it manually by changing the color of the face of the device.

Another important feature of the desktop gadgets is the fact that they can stay on top of other windows. To do this, users can right-click on the gadget and select Always on top. To make the gadget transparent, they can also adjust their opacity. This is the amount of transparency that they show when a mouse is hovered over them. This setting is useful for controlling the brightness and contrast of a device.
