One of the PCs I’m currently using (a 10″ Acer One Notebook), has 19 sidebar.exe slide show windows, on a black background, on my “desktop (incidentally, what a ridiculous name for a display screen configuration, that–obviously–has nothing to do with the notion of a ‘Desktop computer’!…and, inasmuch, as my notebook is rarely on some desktop!)”! In toying with these slide show windows, I soon realized (and based on the “physics” of the 10″ screen of the Acer One) that the “ss windows” would “lock” into/ within specific parameters/ locations of the Acer screen (i.e., which/ that enabled the enlargement, and retraction of respective “ss windows”, without interference with adjoining “ss windows”!…otherwise, the wrong placement of a “ss window”, would mean–upon retraction–a window would collapse onto another adjoining window, instead of restracting to ITS OWN specific demarcated zone)! Having figured this out…and with the Paint Program (what I call the “Ain’t Program”!…as it morphs what “I” paint, into something else!)…I layed down 18 light blue-grey rectangles matching precisely the dimensions, and–importantly–demarcated zones of the “ss windows”!…PLUS, one pixel width, encompassing each respective window (so that any variable accidental shift of the window, wouldn’t end in a failure to accurately retract–and otherwise relocate–the screen into the right zone!…in other words, I could find the grey rectangle, and adjust the window’s positioning accordingly!) (One horizontally elongated rectangle–for whatever reasons…and however!…can accommodate two images side-by-said, without interference!) After completing this “Art project”, I saved this as a “background HOME DISPLAY (as OPPOSED, to ‘Desktop Display”!)!…and, which I’ve been using ever since! As for all other programs, I use START!…and something–incidentally–that MS, also desired to screw us out of! In reflecting on why MS would decide to screw everyone, I came up with some obvious–and I believe, rational–conclusions! I’m furious over MS’ removal of the Sidebar.exe–in particular–from its “family of support”! And it’s the main reason why I no longer desire any future MS products!…PERIOD! My next computer purchase will be for a Purism Librem 15 (high end!)!…pending, Intel’s release of its BIOS for the PL15! Failing that, I’ll pursue the Novena (high end!)! Hell!…I’d obtain a Gluglug PC, before buying a MS-based PC! Screw these proprietary-based systems! Richard Stallman is right!…Windows is for suckers! But I include ALL Closedsource OSs under this just cited expression! Maybe Microsoft will realize that removing Gadgets was not good idea, similar to the removal of the Start Menu and officially reinstates them. Here is a workaround: Gadgets displaying broken in Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 with IE11. For users with custom DPI settings, some gadgets may look broken.Half the portion of the 'Add gadgets' window is dimmed, however, everything else works properly. Due to changes made to Desktop Window Manager and Aero in Windows 10, the main Gadgets window looks a bit weird:.Add your favorite gadgets or download more from the GadgetsRevived desktop gadget gallery.Close the setup wizard, and right click the desktop. Follow the setup wizard, it will take you through a few simple steps.Visit GadgetsRevived and get the installer from the following page: Download the Sidebar. If you cannot imagine the Desktop without your favorite gadgets, here is how to get them back again in Windows 10. Microsoft wants to push live tiles as their replacement and therefore they claim Gadgets as insecure, just like they push Store apps over Desktop apps. They were removed completely in Windows 8 which made many people unhappy. Many people including myself still love the desktop gadgets that were introduced in Windows Vista.
