The Gadgets that I would love to see:

1.The original Weather gadget (Not the new one which I dislike)

2. A Dictionary Gadget

3. Google search Gadget

4. WMP gadget (The way it looks when it's in Taskbar mode)

5. Rhapsody Gadget :)

6. Radar/Satellite gadget that updates automatically

7. News gadget (That pops up on your desktop displaying the latest news such as what they have in google desktop)

8.Slideshow viewer (but with more options such as adding different frames around it)

9.Msn Email Gadget (Which pops up on your desktop displaying every time there's new Email or can popup once a day showing you new messages)

Different skins for each gadget would be great once they start to get boring.

Gadgets that I'd like to see back:

1. Recycle Bin Gaget (I would like an option With choices for different sizes)

2. Quick Launcher

3. Calculator

4. The original Weather Gadget

one Windows Live gadget that needs to be made is for the eBay watchlist. and I wouldnt mind if this was made as a Sidebar gadget either since that is something you want to watch if you are bidding (it can count down the time independent of refreshing data, too)

i read a comment from someone on the Vista team that there would be a WMP gadget put in before release.

i wish they didn't take out the calculator gadget, i think one of the nice things about gadgets is that they can just function as sort of mini apps even apart from the sidebar and just function in stay on top mode.

one thing i hate about the slideshow gadget is if the pictures arent a certain dimension it letterboxes them. clipping them would even be preferable to me.

one really bad thing about the notes gadget, is that while you can drag text in, you cant drag text out.

---which brings me to an important suggestion:

a CLIPBOARD/CLIPBOOK/SCRAPBOOK/SCRATCHPAD GADGET

(windows live search has a scratchpad so maybe they want to keep that name)

    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update

      Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
