damoy Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Has anyone got the Xirrus Wi-fi Monitor gadget working with Sidebar? For me it loads okay, but I am unable to choose a wireless network adapter in settings.Thanks in advance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pip22 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 (edited) Rick,This is amazing! I looked at a lot of Sidebar knock-offs the other day, and your solution is definitely the closest to the real thing (especially with gadget installer)! This mod has been received very well so far at work, and many folks are now requesting it.Thanks so much to you and the team for all your hard work!This is "closest to the real thing" because it's not a sidebar "knock off". It IS the real thing, just adapted or 'ported' to run on XP. All the others you may have seen or tried are just 'lookalikes' (and some don't even look like it) which can't use Vista sidebar gadgets. The Thoosje Sidebar is perhaps the nearest in appearance and functionality to the real thing, but in my experience that uses more ram and takes much longer to load -- I used to run it till I found the real thing on this forum. Rick and the other two guys have done a brilliant job. Edited February 8, 2008 by pip22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tosbsas Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 works great here too -thing seems to be the intel wireless control -seemsto block gadget accessRubenBy the way-how do you get the icon if its not in the tray??Ruben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktendo Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 If you dont see a icon that means that you are probably using the old VAIO DLL to fix the Uninstall of Gadgets (this breaks the tray icon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricktendo Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 Alky for applications can only use one skin, by default it uses the solid Black skin but I patch it with the faded skinWhen you hover over the sidebar you wont be able to see the glass one (this is normal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosbsas Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Can I use the sidebar styler on this one too -I mean on xp?Ruben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nullifi3d Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Rick:Just installed this nifty little port last night, but I seem to be having a problem with Alky...not quite sure; it's what makes sense though.Quite a few gadgets are almost completely transparent...meaning I can only see one or two pieces of them. the rest of them don't even look like they exist.I'm also having a bug with any options on the sidebar itself or for the gadgets: the windows aren't sized correctly, drop down boxes are missing items, etc.The Sidebar Styler application exhibits similar quirks...none of the buttons have text on them, all the drop downs are empty, and most items are completely gone.A couple screenshots for visual aid:http://www.nullifi3d.com/images/sidebar_screen1.jpghttp://www.nullifi3d.com/images/sidebar_screen2.jpgThanks in advance for any help you may give me.

Nullifi3d Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 (edited) Nullifi3d, all you had to do was re-register the sidebar using the change button in add removeWell I did do that, but nothing happened. That's when I went through and did what I listed. Should I have restarted immediately after re-registering?
