How to install Vista Sidebar on Windows XP


What beautiful windows Vista Sidebar! Want it too ...On XP!

You can do it... and in many ways! See some:

-- The Google Sidebar (here is a page of explanation, link 'features')
-- Yahoo Widget
-- DesktopSidebar

Personally, I try all 3 and I must say that the most graphically appealing are the Yahoo widget, that is really similar to Mac OS, even if I found them not very practical.

The solution proposed by Google resembles more to the concept of Vista Sidebar and has several gadgets but the graphic are weak and decisively not beatuful.

DesktopSidebar (in my view) is the best compromise between quality and design, at the end I choose this one and held only 5 panels (weather, images slideshow, stock market quotes, news and Quick Launch menu) and uninstalled others.

You what?
