I never could understand why anyone would use these. Especially since the clock is ALREADY on your screen. lol So is the calender. It's already there.

I'm not using W8, but cool idea anyway! Is there anyway to install the 'tiles' onto desktop (i.e. miniature version)?

the only way you can do this is by installing Rainmeter, then use a skin (there are plenty, but I recommend Omnimo)

I'm sure that i haven't gadgets on my Windows

scritperkid2 In reply to RXSlore [2012-08-05 23:11:26 +0000 UTC]

No, you do. All Windows from Vista to 8 Release Preview have gadgets. The leaked RTM version doesn't, however. Maybe you disabled Gadgets in your Windows. Go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off -> Scroll down and see if Windows Gadget Platform is checked.

BTW, it doesn't work for me...
When the cmd says "Registering Sidebar", a window appears with this text: "Windows Desktop Gadgets has stopped working".
I've run install.cmd as administrator, so i don't know where's the problem.
