Spiffy Widgets you guys use?

[CyberPitz]

I've been wanting to get some pretty nice and very usefull widgets for my computer. Not sure which ones everybody uses. I've seen a few I really like, like CPU usage/clock/etc. And one where say, on top of the screen, is a list of icons you want to be shown *games/apps*. I tried this once a year or 2 ago, and I remember downloading something called konfabulator or something? Not sure though, anymore.

No help, but I'm sure it was a free bump!

No really, I just want to know which ones everybody uses...there are some out there that are really nifty, and I just don't know where to find them/look/etc.

Those are what I'm looking for, but I think those are Vista exclusive..."gadget"? Is that what Widgets are called now?

QFT. Widgets, along with partitioning are so 1990's.

When you have an abuncance, and don't worry about struggling with it..you go for convenience factors...and looks.
