will ther be lite version and is search bar position in add gadget windows fixed???

I think only for some people the search bar looks ok, I think those who have a wide screen monitor and a high resolution

And no I asked Rafael (Alky for Applications creator) if he could fix this he said no

Hi Rick...I think I found the reason why the alky wont install properly...

When i use this addon with RVM Integrator noted that new file (SVCPACK.INF,HIVESFT.INF) being created in integration main folder.

I compare the inf file from old sidebar addon version and the latest version there is different in [EditFile] section...

old:

[EditFile]

I386\SVCPACK.INF,SetupHotfixesToRun,AddPrograms

I386\HIVESFT.INF,AddReg,AddFonts

I386\HIVESFT.INF,Strings,AddStrings

new :

[EditFile]

SVCPACK.INF,SetupHotfixesToRun,AddPrograms

HIVESFT.INF,AddReg,AddFonts

HIVESFT.INF,Strings,AddStrings

does this is the cause that alky not properly install?

I did not say it was compatible with the integrator, thats why i removed the work addon from the filename

Hi, i finally got around and managed to install the sidebar and put in the desktop wallpaper. Now, i remember last time i had this gadget installed, it displayed some nice looking wallpapers (probably from the internet, because i didnt have those). The desktop wallpaper i downloaded have a few, but far away from the amount and quality i had before, so i am wondering how to get hold of more online wallpapers and how to use them with the desktop wallpaper. I am not sure if i should be asking this question here, but i'll give it a go anyway!

Hi Rick...I got problem using this sidbar addon...the advance INF installer dialox box always appear asking me to reinstall the side bar. please help

you need to install alky. install that then you can install windows sidebar

any command line switches for the sidebar.inf? Would like to make an automated, silent install. This works, but I get the prompts:

rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 0 .\sidebar.inf

It is already a addon so its best if you integrate it

If you dont want to be prompted remove the following from sidebar.inf

Line #6202

BeginPrompt		 =BeginInsPrompt

Line #6213

EndPrompt		   =EndInsPrompt

Use this to launch the inf

rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection sidebar.inf,Install

Thank you, that is exactly what I needed. I have a script that I use to conditionally install software after an XP build. Needed this information for the sidebar addon so the script would complete all it's install before rebooting. I also found that removing

Line #6214

CODE

SmartReboot =A

addressed the sidebar install reboot. Thanks again. I really appreciated your help.

Good Work

Rick, have sidebar.exe any CMD switches? I want open gadget galery from cmd.... I think sidebar is running and i want without clicking on gadgets open gadget galery from CMD...

sidebar.exe command line parameters:

/autoRun
/AX
/CPL
/detectMem
/showgadgets		 <- This is the one you want
/uninstallgadgets	<- This does the same but it tells you how to uninstall gadgets
/RegServer
/UnregServer

IMO use /uninstallgadgets because if you install a new gadget while the gallery is open and you do /showgadgets it will simply come to front and will not show your newly installed gadget...but if you use /uninstallgadgets the gallery will refresh and it will show you the new gadget that was installed

And did you INTEGRATE it into your XP\CD and add the other requirments? i.e. WMP11, IE7 and ALKY?

You need to fully read all of the directions please.

It sounds like you are on XP sp2, so you will need to install the Wireless Lan API hotfix...look in the FAQ where you will find a solution to your problem

I have a little problem, some gadgets won't work, and some do but are a pale gray colour:

Make sure you have IE7 installed, png transparency support is vital

Yeah read that on another post, so that's sorted thanks, now i have the picture, but i also have a pink border around it lol

Go to add/remove programs and in the Windows Sidebar entry hit Change button to re-register the sidebar

No such luck, still there unfortunatly, but never mind, i now need to figure out how i install gadgets Lol

Just double clicking should do the trick
