The gadgets at the address given are not “strictly for windows 7″. (the wallpapers are but…) Infact people will be lucky if they do work correctly under W7, as it warns at the bottom of the page:
” These gadgets are optimized for Windows Vista and might not provide the same experience if installed on Windows 7.”
For the moment, many gadgets that were not coded by microsoft are having problems with the transparency effect, an ugly problem that leaves text and borders blurry and purple/pink. Theres another problem with options menus not staying open. When a real page containing gadgets written with Windows 7 in mind does pop up somewhere on the net, I’d be happy if someone would let me know.
