If you’ve read our posts about rainmeter, or you know about it already you are obviously comparing this with rainmeter. To be honest, I’ve never been a fan of desktop gadgets mainly because of their 3D style and overall clunkiness. You can make a gadget up to 400% bigger in size.Īlthough 8GadgetPack might not be Rainmeter, there is still plenty that you can do with the available Gadgets. Perhaps the setting you will be using the most is the Size found under the Display tab. There are many things you can do to a widget depending on what the widget is. The X will close the widget and the wrench icon lets you configure or modify the widget. When you hover the mouse over any gadget, you’ll notice three buttons (mostly but not always) appear in the top-right corner. Here are 5 best Rainmeter skins to give your Windows 10 a modern look. You also customize your Windows desktop with Rainmeter. I can run it without any hiccups on my Windows 10 v1709. 8GadgetPack was originally made for Windows 8, hence the name but it has been updated to work with Windows 10. But if you’re like me you’d rather keep them organized and assign them a dedicated space, as in a sidebar. 8GadgetPack also includes that among other gadgets.

With 8GadgetPack you can relive those days while still sticking to the modern Windows 10 experience.
Luckily, Windows is quite popular and there’s no lack of third-party support. With Windows 8 and now Windows 10, Microsoft completely killed these.
Windows desktop gadgets did not become very popular but many people around the world did come to love them. Windows 7 too had a few desktop gadgets, although quite limited in number. Desktop Gadgets, what we’d today call widgets thanks to the popularity of Android, were also introduced with Windows Vista.
Windows Vista’s aesthetics clearly stuck around in Windows 7. This does not mean the buggy ride had no positives. Windows Vista was more than just unsuccessful.
