Anyone made any yet ???
They are just javascript and html .....
Heres a little one I made to get information about my wireless network
Do this :
Win Key + R
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets
Create a folder named Wifi-info.Gadget
Create a file inside the above folder named "Wifi-info.html"
Create another file named "gadget.xml"
Now open the sidebar, and it'll be in the list of gadgets [ + at top of screen ]
Seriously, I think microsoft got it right for once, javascript is REAL easy to use and if I knew how to make things look nice that would be real easy too.....
Anyone have any suggestions for cool gadgets, I'm ---- at coming up with ideas .....
