I am currently looking for one of these programs, i recently tried Yahoo! Widgets, i was impressed.....until i looked in my task manager and realised each Widget takes a process, i was wondering if there was something similar that didn't use a new process for each and just used one for the whole thing....I'm about to give Google Gadgets ago...

Thanks,

Matt

Google Desktop doesn't take up much memory. I like it because of that and it looks cool too, the sidebar is a nice touch too!

You could try Desktop Sidebar. You can skin that one but the only downside is that there aren't as many add-ons to it and they aren't exactly widgets but you can make it look like AERO. you can check it out at www.desktopsidebar.com

I've tried yahoo Widgets...it made my computer load really slow since it takes time and resources to run those widgets, I had a few. Here is a SS.

Edit: That was when I was trying to decide which clock to use.

Thanks for the tip Troy, just downloading that one now, can't install it just yet as i'm installing Windows XP x64 on my pc at the moment, but it does look promising!

Thanks,

Matt

Edit: Hey Tommy Boy which widget is that in the top corner displaying hdd and pc statistics?

I don't use anything like that. Google already logs all my searches the last thing I need is them storing an index of my hard drives somewhere.
