Rainmeter is like 100x better than Windows Gadgets.

 

[Dave the Manly]

Seems like a bunch of useless garbage anyways.

Rainmeter and Gadgets are no longer needed. Live Tiles will soon rule.

It's so beautiful on my desktop. The colors and fluid motion can't be experienced in one picture.

DOS looked better than that shit.
