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

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.

The sidebar works great!!!

Now, I

They should be already included

Rick, me baje el sidebar en espa

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)

Good day!

Can anybody help me please... I am trying to install the sidebar but each time i tried, I am getting the this error message;

" Sorry. This application attempted to delay-load a library or function that does not exist. Instability may occur. "

I am using SP3 Windows XP.

More power and thanks for making XP more Pleasing to the eye

FAQ

BTW SP3 should already have wireless lan API, dunno why you are getting this

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

Yes i did have Windows Sidebar Styler installed and i uninstalled it.

Thanks

- "GrpConv" error during manual install solved

- 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!

[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 the update Rick.

- Vista fonts are now registered during TXTSETUP (they can now be used earlier in the Windows Billboard Setup if needed)

- Fixed French translation of RecycleBin(XP).Gadget

Same addon name as the previous Intl release, verify update with MD5 hash

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.
