    Thanks Jayblok,

    I have tried the HTC Home 1.9 , that copies the phone gadget

    But the Windows 7 gadgets are by far more complete, I guess this solution will only work on Windows 8, not XP

    Nice, although this one seems to use the Vista sidebar which isn't as flexible as the Windows 7 one.

    Update: I can't make the Sidebar (the one on the 1st page) to work, it seems to install fine but when I click on a gadget nothing happens, or I get an 'Unspecified error'. Using Windows 8 Pro x64.

    Only on first look. After install, right click on this vista-like sidebar and close it. Then it works like the one in Win 7. Using this solution myself, works like charm. Give it a try :D.

    Hi everyone. Just joined and I know this subject has most likely been covered - I'm looking for links to window 8 individual gadgets/widgets, like I had on Windows 7: cpu widget, weather and the like. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have the sidebar working on german windows 8 for 2 months now. Just had to edit the Gadgets (Language).
    Works Great !!! And is in my opinion much better than this 8gadgetpack.
    Thank you very much for realizing this :)
