To install a desktop gadget in Windows 8, first open the Control Panel and then click on Desktop Gadgets. For those of you who have been using Windows 8 for a while, you might be wondering what happens if you snap a Metro app to the right-side of the screen and also have a desktop widget installed? Well, this is what it would look like:.
Basically, Windows 8 moves the widget over to the left side of the snapped Metro app. I thought it would mess up somehow and either not display the gadgets or do something else, but luckily they thought about this and you can see both at the same time.
So if you have a monitor that supports some ridiculous resolution and you have the extra space, you can run a few gadgets and snap Metro apps to your desktop without a problem. 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 error , and 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 rest. 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?? How could MSoft not be able to patch that on W7. It must just be an excuse to discontinue, and force people to Metro. How did you get it to work with 8. It installed, opens fine, clocks works great but the weather does not : They say cannot connect to service.
Hello, When I try to install on Windows 8. Installation canceled. None of the gadgets that come pre-installed on Win7 or those made by Microsoft for post-install download were actually threats. The only threat of security breach from the gadgets was from 3rd party downloads. Because gadgets were HTML based, most required an internet connection to function properly, but if a hacker were to obtain access to the HTML file that the gadgets read from, they could potentially do some serious damage to your system because they would literally be able to execute any action possible through HTML coding.
Windows Firewall allows for a manual disconnection of any program from the internet.
