Vista Sidebar 2.5: sidebar for Windows XP

27th August 2008

The software, called Vista Sidebar for Microsoft Windows XP and Vista will allow PC users to locate a variety of "gadgets" on the desktop.
The proposed component consumes 50% less resources of RAM and works much faster than the original Microsoft Sidebar. In addition, the application can run under Microsoft Windows Vista and XP.
The new version allows users to change the size of the sidebar, and also offers a whole new set of “gadgets” (including the magnificent Software Search Softonic Gadget) and visually attractive skins. Besides, according to developers, Vista Sidebar 2.5 differs from previous versions by its greater stability and the absence of several annoying “bugs”.
The application can be downloaded from the site of the developer.
