| | Re: Side Bar Gadget I think you can slide the gadget border, thereby reducing size of everything, but I'm not certain how/if I did accomplish that. Try it.

| | Re: Side Bar Gadget Hi, Right click the gadget Sidebar area and click on Help. According to MS, the width of the gadget sidebar is fixed. Also, the sizes of the gadgets can not be adjusted in the Sidebar, but if you drag (Move) some of the gadgets from the Sidebar onto a different area of the Desktop, some of the gadgets will display larger. oscar  "SteveC" wrote: Quote: > Many thanks for the replay, Ill try it > -- > SteveC > > > "Atreyu" wrote: > Quote: > > I think you can slide the gadget border, thereby reducing size of > > everything, but I'm not certain how/if I did accomplish that.

| | Re: Side Bar Gadget hi all, this is my second day using my laptop vista format, I have found that I can reduce the gadgets individually in size. I go to the top of the one I want to shrink and when I get the double arrow, I left click and hold and then move it up or down until I like the size.. Hope this helps.
