how did you do that????

Oh, and how do I add more parts to the sidebar, because when I do it, the new parts don't show up on the "+" to add them on the sidebar?

of course, settings on your monitor don't actually change the image that we see in a screenshot.

It's like having a black and white monitor and capturing an image, which everyone else sees in colour.

would love to have some new/different gadgets for this thing.

like the weather/wmp/and maybe a way to put shortcuts on it.

by the way why is the anolog clock background only dark when in the preview it shows a map or something?

and one more thing is there a way to tell the slideshow which folder to use for pictures?

any ideals on this please post,thanks

Regarding your clock picture question, it's just a mistake by Microsoft. If you open the .part with compression software, you'll see the thumbnail is slightly incorrect for the clock. Oh well, if it really bothers you, fix it.

Regarding your Slideshow question...

This is the code in Part.js responsible for setting the folder in which pictures are loaded:

// Setting: Folder to display. 
this.slideFolder = Settings.GetValue("Folder");
if (this.slideFolder == "")
{
	// Default: Pictures
	var ssfMYPICTURES = 39; // ShellSpecialFolderConstants for My Pictures folder
	var myPicturesFolder = shell.NameSpace(ssfMYPICTURES);
	this.slideFolder = myPicturesFolder.Self.Path;
	Settings.PutValue("Folder", this.slideFolder);
}

A quick, sloppy fix would be to replace:

this.slideFolder = Settings.GetValue("Folder");

... with (replacing the path):

this.slideFolder = "C:\TEMP";

A better fix would be to implement the settings pane for this part.

Cool, I didn't know there was a different one. The one I posted is the orignal though, the one which stan_fisher released on AeroXP.

Someone tell us how to curve it!

To curve it just patch sidebar.exe, then reshack RCDATA 5002 in the exe. Replace the png with this one for a simple curve.
