After much painstaking searching, I haven’t been able to find any gadgets (e.g., GPU, weather, etc.) for my Windows 7 desktop. There are some gadget websites but they are riddled with adware and/or of such poor quality that they do not install/work at all.
There are a large number of people who want desktop gadgets; surely there is some alternative now that Microsoft has discontinued them?
