No tile nonsense can veer replace the perfectly lined-up special tools that I have on the right side of my desktop, and which I use all the time. And I am not taking a bout a stupid clock, wheather forecast or date in big letters.
We in the knowing have dedicated tools to display CPU load per core, CPU temperature, RAM usage, currently tranferred data on network and Wi-Fi, HDD surveillance and storage space meters, battery tool to also switch directly between different power states, and so on and so on.

It seems very strange to me that MSoft cant make a secure gadget. Makes no sense. I have used them for years on W7 and never had or heard of a problem.

Thanks a lot for this article. I use gadgets daily and keep myself updated daily. This Desktop Gadget for Windows 8.
Well good news for Gadget fans. In fact even the URLs are similar, just replace gallery. It stopped working after the last update to StartIsBack. Thx for your suggestions, but: 1. Only the Charms Bar came in front. Too complex, have to use shortkey. Grrr I hate Microsoft… 3. This is not so good, the gadgets are always on top. Aero Peek is off by default on Windows 8.
That keeps gadgets showing on the Desktop. Just tried to get the Gadgets to work under 8. Please uninstall the Sidebar package already installed on your PC and then try again. If you get this errorand cant see anything in program files even if hidden files are activated… Windows is playing tricks on you : its a protected system file. Mate, you already have some sidebar installed. Installer has found sidebar files and asking to remove them.
Use Control panel — Uninstall a program to remove it. Let me show you a piece of code? There is no other option. Installation went perfectly, but when I double click to add the clock gadget nothing happens. I double clicked the clock gadget in the window a couple of times and after that double clicked the CPU gauge, and it appeared very messed up, like a text in a grey rectangular box, and it appeared at the bottom, like the clock was there but not visible.
It uses IE as the engine for gadgets. IE11 replaces that engine and breaks gadgets. The strangest thing is that it breaks gadgets suddenly and not on every PC. I read that it breaks gadgets for DPI set above Thanks, man. Very informative answer.
Hi Sergey — Thanks for developing this!!! Some of them are already installed by my brother. Will be checking out the download gadgets keren windows 8 free. If its a choice between 8. They mean that much to me. I just cant but the security alert, a remote attacker can gain full control over my pc, through windows gadgets??
