I don't know if it has been posted before, however this is a very nice utility for bringing up back the windows 7 gadgets into windows 8, with all the features of windows 7 plus some more...

What I like most is that the sidebar can be summoned just by sliding the mouse over the left edge and still it doesn't feel intrusive. Finally, a way to recover my beloved "Calculatorium" gadget as well as the GPU monitors.

The Web page: http://8gadgetpack.bplaced.net/ Highly recommended.

I'm using AIDE64 and wondering if it will work with this.

It's worth of a try, I have been testing different gadgets and it can pool the information correctly... so my guess is Yes.

What GPU Monitor you using? I rather use those instead of AIDE64.

Thanks!

You know how to make the font bigger for the Clock Speeds?

I honestly don't know other options than the ones that are already in the gadget... sorry about that, but I'm glad you liked it, this little program really does wonders.

i use the orbmu2k.de gadgets and they worked well in the Consumer Preview but don't work well in the RTM.

used the asciiwolf sidebar installer to re add gadget support in rtm but the GPU and CPU gadget don't work properly.
