It will also support anti-aliased drawing routines, litestep plugins, and can be controlled from 3rd party applications with !bangs.

    Nice, but crashes a little too much (nearly every day).

    (Config: windows xp pro sp3, v. 1.0 rev 163, 23 skins active.)

    Awesome for monitoring CPU, RAM, RSS-feeds, whats playing and almost anything you want it to show, looks great and it's free. Haven't seen any performance drop

    I just started using this today, and I'm not sure whether I like it or not. It certainly looks nice, but I'm wondering if aesthetics are worth it. It's not hogging resources to a degree that I'd remove it just yet... but as with most desktop-enhancers, it might just not be used enough to warrant it.

    Well it's not the best sidebar out there, but it can be useful and it does look nice. Configuring it can be quite a hassle though as everything needs to be put in via the .ini files. And theres no option to install new gadgets. What you see is what you get. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who isn't advanced with computers.

    Стоят TimeDate из Dark_Rainmeter с подправленными конфигами, удобно когда не хочется вглядываться в небольшие часы справа, если ты вдалеке от компьютера.

    Great software, although it starts to impact system performance after many gadgets are running.
