i like it, it runs ok (even on my system)

what i dont like is they haven't implemented auto hide functionality, i like how you can drag gadgets off onto the desktop, but if i want to leave some widgets on it, and set auto hide, i should be able to. :yes:

Part script errors are a result of running Sidebar on a non-English locale system. To fix this, extract your part with compression software, rename \1033 to a valid LCID for your system (see below), and rezip/rename.

LCID chart: http://krafft.com/scripts/deluxe-calendar/lcid_chart.htm

Those that are unsure about their correct LCID can use the attached program (requires .net v1.1)

C# Source:

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

public class Nothing
{
	[DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError=true)]
	static extern int GetSystemDefaultLCID();

	public static void Main()
	{
  Console.WriteLine();
  Console.WriteLine(
  	"* Current LCID: {0}",
  	GetSystemDefaultLCID().ToString()
  );
	}
}

LCID.zip

click the plus in the top left, then double click the gadgets.

I did it, but that wasn't the problem. It was that: I didn't copy the "parts" folder into the users profile. Well, now it's solved. Thanks anyway

By the way, how do I turn on autohide?

But the result is the same :pinch:

The sidebar shows up fine, but there is nothing on it. I click hte + button, but its still blank.

I have the sidebar.exe, the emu and xmlrw.dll files, and the 4 *.part files in a dir and it doesnt show any widget thingys in the sidebar.

No, those steps are wrong. If the 'Default Parts' directory contains the parts in the Sidebar working folder, the rest is handled for you.

Did you edit the .part in 'Default Part' or your %userprofile%\Parts directory? If default, you need to delete the part in your Parts folder and restart Sidebar

I've deleted the parts in %userprofile%\ , but when I restart the sidebar to add the rss, searchbar and run, it also has the same problem :(

    • The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
    • Microsoft, totally not confusing /s 25H2 - Current for non-Arm based Windows 26H1 - Current for Arm based Windows 26H2 - Only for non Arm Windows
    • After I installed those, my older but capable Win 11 laptop (16GB RAM) reported it as 26H2 26300.8697. Then I installed it on my big laptop (128GB RAM! Hehe sorry), it reported it as 25H2 26220.8690. Ugh. Do I have to switch Insiders channels from Release to Beta?
