Ok so there's no way possible to get the Hover effect? Oh well I guess, the ported version is alot better than Thoosje.. since I can get whatever gadget I want. Thanks for the sidebar :D

If you really want a sidebar on XP with the Vista fading effect, you'll need to use the Google Desktop. The fade isn't exactly like Vista but it is there. Be aware that it uses probably just as many resources of the Vista sidebar.

Currency does not work, but RSS should... If it does not try using the modded wlsrvc.dll you find here

The reason for the gadgets not being present is in there also... use LCID to identify your Operating System Locale and rename the es-ES to example es-AR (for Argentina)

My Sidebar disappears after rebooting sometimes and then i have to install it again,would it be better to go to add and remove programs and use the change button to fix it?

This site is great and i am learning so much!

You wouldn't by any chance have Windows Sidebar Styler installed would you?

If so Uninstall it or make sure .Net Framework 3.0 and 3.5 above are installed

Hey Rick...great port of sidebar to XP.

The only problem I have is when I try to download more gadgets from the MS site. I get a warning box that says "Your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded."

I don't have any issues with any other downloaded files...what setting might be keeing me from downloading?

Thanks!!!

- Merged all languages into one addon thanks to Kal for finding a trick on how to make international INF's

- Also many new sub-local's and translations that did not exist before are now supported like Portuguese, Spanish and Japanese and many more sub categories

- If your lang is not on the list don't worry, the default en-US Sidebar will be installed

Bring on the HATE! :P

[Close]

BTW: I need your feedback ppl (expecially non english XP users), I wanna know if your lang was detected by the INF and if not what is your LCID (open a CMD window and type LCID) manual install or XP setup should not matter

Also if any of you see any problems with the dialog translations plz fix them and post them in the sidebar translations section or here

thanks for this rick! this addon is one that i've always been on the lookout for :) ... i'd just like to aks if there'd be a specific addon for Eng XP only (i'm thinking maybe the file size would be smaller)? thanks!

Hello Mr. Rick. :)

It neglects to call fairly.

We wish sincerely to express our gratitude for the revival of a Japanese version.

The problem that cannot be uninstalled in the latest version occurs.

The directory of Process.exe doesn't exist.

It is possible to uninstall it normally by specifying C:\WINDOWS\system32\Process.exe.

Please examine it.

[ Addition ]

; Copies LCID to "%WinDir\system32" (during [DefaultInstall] only)

[Copy.sys32]

lcid.exe ; [ 5804 lines ]

process.exe ; It doesn't exist.
