    Desktop Gadgets turn ON/OFF (8gadgetpack)


    Hello

    I have installed 8gadgetpack and I have question... is there any way how can I turn ON/OFF all gadgets on desktop at once with something like pressing one button ?

    EDIT: ok I found it pretty simple...

    :)

  2. Windows Insider Preview Build 10547 - 8gadgetpack constant CPU usage 17-19%

    The new insider build installed yesterday and Classic Start plus 8gadgetpack had to reconfigure to work with the new version. Since then I get constant CPU usage of 17-19% from 'Windows Desktop Gadgets' i.e. 8gadgetpack with my fans constantly on too. If
    I FC it from Task Manager it stops.

    I can't find relevant forums for 8gadgetpack so am posting on here.

    Is anybody else having this issue?

    No one I've recommended installing
    8GadgetPack
    on Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10 has reported any problems. It will open a dock on the right which you can right click to hide, then you'll have the same gadget menu on the right click desktop context menu as in original Windows 7 . However to have
    a replica of Windows 7's wildly popular Weather forecast gadget, you'll need to install

    I need to get my "AllCPU Meter" and "Longer Notes" gadgets back. Used them heavily in Windows 7. Does this Gadget Pack contain them? TIA. -Allen

  5. " All CPU Meter" is included but "Longer Notes" is not. But if you have the gadget available (download or from archive) it can be added in the same manner as in Windows 7.

    After installing Insider Build 10547, I reinstalled Desktop Gadgets Revived 2.0. I started loading my usual gadgets (This has worked since the beginning of the Insider Program in October 2014) and neither All CPU Meter V4.7.3 nor Network Meter V9.6 would load. I removed them and reinstalled them with the same result. Rebooted with the same result. I uninstalled Desktop Gadgets Revived and tried 8GadgetPack with the same result. Other gadgets like Wunderground and O&O Disk Stats work just fine. Is anyone else seeing this?

    I checked and they say that some functions don't work with build 10547.

    Thanks much. Must be the same issue for Desktop Gadgets Revived. I'll try their suggestions for Glassy CPU/Network Monitor and see if they work. Another issue was that with Desktop Gadgets Revived my system slowed quite a bit after installing the two gadgets that did not appear and ran fine after uninstalling it.

    I noticed that 8GadgetPack is now working with Build10576 but, in order to have the bar correctly located and clear, you need to open 8GadgetPack Tools and select Reset all gadgets. This will resize the bar and make the bar transparent.

  15. A belated Thank-you for replying to my question, Alan. Maybe there's a "Notes" gadget in the pack. As long as that particular gadget keeps expanding southward as I enter notes, I'm happy. The name doesn't matter.
