How to make a Windows 7/Vista desktop gadget :)

Post by Frogger »

I don't know if you know this, but it's really easy to make a desktop gadget for Windows 7/Vista!

If you use this: Amnesty™ Generator for Vista and the YoWindow Free Weather Widget

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
I didn't know about this software.
I think the downside of this solution is that the animation of YoWindow widget will not stop when you switch to another application.
And that makes your computer very slow when widget is installed.
Get YoWindow weather app for your phone or tablet.

I tried it out, it's not running on my Win 7 64-bit system.

Hi there,

That's a pity :( Is it the Amnesty Generator that won't work?

Hi Par,

Yeah, it's not ideal but it'll be ok for me until the real one's available :)
