UPDATE:
How to make the sidebar like in Windows 7!
1. Drag the gadget(s) out of the sidebar somewhere in your desktop.
2. Right click on the sidebar (The dark shadow blurred thing) and click 'Close sidebar' (Or something like that)
The sidebar will minimize now, but it stays running, and your gadgets will stay on your desktop.
Enjoy!
Note:
The software is not made by me, I only put all the software together in a pack so you can use it on XP easily.
I am also not responsible for any possible damage to your system.
If you need any support, you can contact me with a comment in here, or contacting me via my website www.joshoon.com.
You can also add me on msn: fans@djjoshoon.com (Emails will not be readed, and I will not be much online on this msn, because this is not my personal msn, this is msn is for people that like my music, or my sidebar pack ^^)
I can not fix any errors in the software.
Credits in README file.
FAQ:
Q: A gadget does not work correctly, it stays blank or an other error occures, can this be fixed?
A: This could be because the gadget is scripted to work on Windows Vista/7, and those scripts won't work on XP.
This cannot be fixed.
But gadgets like clock, weather, calender, and stuff like that should work normaly.
But gadgets like CPU use may need a Windows Vista/7 system, because those scripts are written for Vista/7.
But most gadgets should work!
Q: The sidebar will not start, an error occures when I try to start the sidebar
A: It depends on what kind of error you get, but it could be because you have not installed the newest .NET Framework.
I recommend .NET Framework 3.5 or higher. It can be downloaded from Microsoft.
More faqs will be added later.

Hey,
I have the 'black image problem' too sometimes in Windows 7 itselfs.
Then it's just an error in the service sometimes.
And about the note.
The font I have in the picture, is the standard one, you should have it too in there.
But if you dont, you can click the configuration button on the right of the note, and there you can shoot another font.
The font on the picture is called Segoe Print.

That is a error of your computer.
I have this kind of error when I want to go to Desktop properties.
But then he says a other file is not found, and while it is there.
Something is wrong with your User32.dll with the IsThreadDesktopComposited line.
I dont even know how to resolve this problem by myself too.

Hi, I'm having a problem since 2 days (i think after installing office 2007) that the slideshow gadget is not working properly. I can't open the pictures or change settings. if i try the sidebar closes, If I try to get more gadgets from the internet by using the button add gadgets, the sidebar closes. The program sometimes comes with a warning that some gadgets are not working proparly and have to be removed from the sidebar. Only, it is an original gadget inclyuded with the sidebar and i like this one....
Any suggestions?

Are you really sure you installed it right?
Because I see some people with problems, while i didnt have any of them by meself.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I installed it right, because it worked without a problem from the start on 3 computers.
The problem occurs on 2 of them, last week. On these 2 computers the problems occured. The difference with the 3rd pc is that i did not install office 2007 on this one, because it had it already installed before i installed the sidebar.
What i did afterwards on one pc with the problem is:
uninstall sidebar
uninstall alky
restart
install alky
install sidebar
without solving the problem
i copied the gadget from another pc, so i can bring the slideshow on the sidebar twice. this one has the same problem.
could there be a problem with the registry? or maybe after a XP update?
other gadgets are working fine.
when i click on more gadgets (the one that opens explorer) the bar closes.
looks to be a problem with a link to other programs...maybe??
with regards, Wouter

Is it only with the Office 2007 gadget?
Because then it could be that this sidebar does not support that one.
Maybe the gadgets has unhandle scripts for the sidebar.
Because there are some gadgets that the sidebar can't handle.
Like scripts that really need to be runned on Vista itselfs.

It is with the slideshow gadget that comes with the install of the sidebar.
and only with this gadget.
secondly when i click on "more gadgets" (right click in the side bar, click on "add gadgets" and then on "more gadgets"))the sidebar closes entirely

Hi, I have set a Acronis backup back, with office 2003 and the sidebar works again. So the installation of office 2007 caused the problem.
Do i have to uninstall the side bar, then install office 2007 and then reinstall the sidebar? I am going to try this.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I dont know.
But im glad that you going to try this.
I had Office 2007 already installed before I installed the sidebar.

This is the last message, because i have installed office 2007 without Infopath, Acces and Publisher. the sidebar is working perfectly now! One of these programs is the fault that it did not before. I am glad and for all the ones who have the same problem, this can be a relief

I love the sidebar, gr8 work, ty.
I saw a post asking about making it smaller, and I think what they are looking for is being able to resize the sidebar frame. Some of the gadgets & icons are pretty large.
I have tried the Google desktop search, which is basically the same as the sidebar, with gadgets. Theirs doesnt work nearly as well as this 1, because you really need to watch the gadgets you add...It seems a lot have hacker code embedded....
When I am using that 1, my harddrive is running continuously..*(not a good sign) . Their notes say when its first installed it will index your entire computer for faster searching, but 3 days seems to be a lot of indexing to me, and this really slows you down. The main the feature it has that I really like is the ability to collapse each gadget to a text title bar in the sidebar. When you click on it ..it will open the gadget. It you have a lot of gadgets installed, it takes a lot less space and you can see them all on 1 page without scrolling to the next page.
If this could be done to your sidebar, or if you had the ability to resize your gadgets, would be a great feature.
Thanks again
