Desktop Windows Gadgets

GadgetsBecause we want to focus on the exciting possibilities of the newest version of Windows, Microsoft no longer supports uploading new gadgets. But that doesn't mean you can't still get gadgets. The most popular and highest-rated gadgets are still available on this page.

Some info for gadget developers:

You can now use your HTML5 and CSS3 skills to build Metro-style apps for Windows 8 Developer Preview. To get started developing Metro style apps, go to Windows Dev Center.

If you're interested in building gadgets for the Windows 7 Gadget Platform or the Windows Vista Sidebar, we recommend you have a look at the Gadgets developer documentation on MSDN.

Want to share a gadget that you’ve already created? CodePlex is a great option for hosting your gadgets.

Disclaimers:

Some of these gadgets are third-party applications, not developed by Microsoft and its partners. Gadgets can access your computer's files, show you objectionable content, or change their behavior at any time. Only download gadgets from developers you trust. Microsoft is not responsible for the performance or reliability of non-Microsoft gadgets.

Some gadgets are optimized for Windows Vista and might not provide the same experience if installed on Windows 7. Some gadgets (such as those using High DPI) only work on computers running Windows 7.
