XP Gadgets similar to vista?

[jba6511]

Just recently started playing with windowBlinds and themes. I have a theme I like that resembles vista and would like to know if there are any programs out there that simulate the gadgets in the sidebar in vista? I have it dual booted with vista as well and use the new application gadget that allows me to drag and drop apps into the sidebar and launch from there. I really like this as it gives a clean look and no desktop icons. Any suggestions

well I guess I will answer my own question. There is a program that mimics the sidebar in vista for xp. Not as many gagdets for it but still some useful items. http://www.thoosje.com/index.html

You can also use DesktopX to create sidebars as well.

you could use yahoo widgets, it looks a lot like vista, you can make your own,
and there are a lot more.

Does yahoo put its crappy yahoo messenger and random applications in excess to the necessary widgets program?

nope, the only thing you really need a yahoo name for is so that you can use the email checker. Most of the widgets are made by geeks or just people who like to make widgets, but there are some widgets made by yahoo. You can also download more widgets from the site.
