    !! Date countdown desktop widgets like android ?? !!


    HI,

    Love this site as my knowledge with computers is basically nil, though I am learning!

    I have looked through the store for countdown date apps that are pinned to the desktop.

    After downloading a few now (days / event timer etc) I'm starting to think that Win 10 doesn't work like a chromebook or an android phone. Am I right in thinking that there are no such things as widgets in Win 10?

    If that is so then I guess I will have to use a sticky note with the date on it. Whilst this would work I don't think it's as cool as an actual countdown clock that automatically changes as the days pass. I used one of these on my C302CA but had to switch for uni reasons.

    Is there such as a thing as widgets, specifically a countdown widget?

    If not, has anyone figure a way around it, coded it somehow?

    Thanks for your time in advance, ste *Confused

    :)

    Use desktop Widgets on Windows 10?


    How do you suggest to add widgets/gadgets from Win7 on Windows 10?
    I found many solutions, but what is the better one?

    Android, as a pc enthusiast you probably like customisation and fiddling with stuff.

    Even non rooted Android is brilliant for fiddling!

    Lots of different launchers/dialers/contacts lists/widgets/lock screens/ other UI additions/changes to download.

    + Apps! Most Apps on Android are free as well and the number of app in the market is rapidly catching up to the App store.


    But having said that I am massively biased lol

    Widgets and Gadgets?


    yes, you can get the windows 7 widgets back.
    see this:
    Desktop gadgets and sidebar for Windows 10

    you will have only the basic pack, any other widgets you will have to google them.

    that said... the gadgets were never a great system, and used a bit too much memory for my liking.
    you may want to have a look at rainmeter "skins" - all sorts of little widgets, offering a fantastic way to personalise your desktop
