Windows 10: Desktop Gadgets turn ON/OFF (8gadgetpack)

Appreciate the URL Tracit99. Hopefully the new version of Windows10 coming out this month won't squash the gadgets for good. Don't know why Microsoft hates gadgets so much. They're no threat to Windows 10's reputation, or Microsoft's profits.

 

Yes sticky notes is there

 

Using windows 10 build 10586 and still sidebar can't enable transparency

 

Hmmm, I have 10586 and 8GadgetPack Ver. 16. Transparency is working with no problems. Have you tried to open 8GadgetPack Tools and select Reset all gadgets? This worked for me.

 

will try I let you know

No! no dice!
I can change all 27 color skin, but transparent show as white, also I can't enable Transparency bottom

Got it, found my problem, I have not set up Microsoft theme with transparency,
thanks for all you advice, if I don't come back Marry Xmas and Happy New Year

 

Thanks for the sentiments and I'm glad you are all set. Have a Wonderful Holiday Season.

 

I have just had a popup saying the Sidebar has been updated --- the update appears to have been installed automatically. Now I am having problems, Gadget are in a muddle and cannot be organised as I want. This is probably because I can no longer have several bars. I only have two bars, one of which is the Windows Manager, I used to have three.

Further, I cannot make the bar transparent as reseting says it will remove many of my Gadgets.

On a more positive note,for those interested in Gadgets who have not found it I recommend having a look at the win7gadgets.com page ---- lots of good Gadgets well presented.
