Right, let's post pics of our windows sidebars (unfortunately those of you with XP (or older?) can not partake in this thread).



The main idea of this is so we can find the gadgets other people in the WDG community are using and  maybe use them ourselves.

It's not just for ATI, it's independent and just displays the info (the screenshot on the MS website was an Nvidia one).

I find it amusing that although your CPU is at 15% load, 10% of that is probably from the sidebar itself Tongue

Such a useless application that you can only see when viewing your desktop, unless you want to really hinder your view of anything useful and/or interesting.

i'm using the sidebar and on average core 1 is being used 3 - 5% and according to taskmanager not even 1% of the cpu is being used to power the sidebar. not sure where you lot got the idea from that the sidebar eats up resources

I would have mine left on for a few shiny gadgets terror, unfortunately my laptop has a 600 MHz CPU. The sidebar was the first thing I killed.

Oh and vista was bundled, but its not so bad now i killed aero and the sidebar and all the flash

Mine is off because I simply don't like the clutter.

@Marenghi - the presentation of the sidebar does chew up resources, no matter how small, its still using more than not using the side bar. These widgets also update via the net (some do), so there is more overhead that you might think (depends on widgets being used).

Well I've used it for a while and then I had a look at what widgets I was using, result: Except a single (pretty useless one) each of them was a duplicate of a tray icon.
CPU? DISK access? Shown by a all the time running process explorer
Time? Date? Down there already.
Quick notes? Windows + R, notepad ENTER

My side bar is on my other computer.

Err, CPU thingy, Weather thingy, Clock thingy and some thing I found that tells me what the CPU, fan, battery and network and RAM are doing. Can't find the one for getting a radar of all the loacl wireless points.

Win 7 is pretty good, resource usage is much better and you can put gadgets wherever you like on the desktop.  I also use the "sticky notes" app a fair bit.
currently got CPU Meter, Network monitor, currency converter, calc, sticky notes and a google box.
