Hi, decided to post it here becouse free software thread seems to be dead, and has warning on it.

anyway, i went and bought PC advisor from the shops, and it got a cd with it, had this program on called Desktop Sidebar, its a brilliant thing, got rss feeds on it, can have web page links on it, messenger, calender, media player, clock, local weather, system info etc...

its a free download from http://www.desktopsidebar.com/ i reccomend you get it, its brilliant, and customizable.

Willz told me about this over MSN Messenger, I downloaded it, it's awesome. I've got HWF RSS Feeds and get links to the latest threads/posts, Weather, Clock, Performance Panel, MSN Messenger Users Online.
There's many different panels to have on there - it's quite a useful thing.
 
Ah! I've used that before!

I think I first encountered it about 3 years ago. It's pretty neat, but my only quibble is that it eats up system resources :rolleyes:

Since when can ANYTHING be too "googley"? Blasphemy I tell you! As for the side bar, I'm downloading it right now to see what all the fuss is about.
 
I've used it before, and personally, it's a pain in the ass.
After exiting it or un-installing it, it left my desktop corrupted and all funky like.
Eats way too much memory too!
But if you guys like it, i aint stopping you using it.

Don't get me wrong - I like google, it's just that the sidebar seemed too googley for my tastes.

yea, does eat away loads of memory, infact makes loads of programs slower, but hey, i find it so good, coz of that i think, well if the thing thats eating all the memory is good, then the memory aint going to waste :p

i dont use anything thats intensive at moment, so sidebar is ok for me, does muck around with desktop tho :\
