Polar clock gadget fo windows 7
PixelBreaker has an amazing polar clock. My first thought: that could look uber-cool on my win 7 desktop as a gadget. There was none available on the internets though. So, here’s the one that I put together : PolarClock.gadget . A quirk: an error box on initial launch, just click “dismiss all” and you are set

Doesn't install, mate. Nothing happens when you press install...
It happens sometimes. Workaround:
1. Rename the PolarClock.gadget to PolarClock.zip.
2. Extract the files of above zip to folder.
3. Rename this folder to PolarClock.gadget.
4. Copy this folder to %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Sidebar\Gadgets
5. The gadget should now appear in the gadgets list.
Awesome! Thanks for that. :) Now I just wish it were square, without wasting all that screen real estate on either side... or with transparency? :P
I have followed the workaround and it still does not work. I am using Windows 7 64 bit. Any ideas?
I LOVE it... but do you think u could add some setting changes? for the background saturation? much appreciated
Is there any way to make it work on the 64bit version of win 7?
I tried installing it manually but nothing seems to happen. Thanks!
Just worked it out. To install it on Win 7 64bit, just follow the five steps above, but copy the folder into %localappdata%\program files(x86)\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets
Nice gadget! Thanks man!
tried the revised steps. does not show in the gadgets list.
The clock appears in the gadget list, but when I open it, it's just a blank box. Any ideas?
I'm having issues adding this to my 64bit win 7 desktop, previously discussed method not working. Doesn't show up in gadget list. Any ideas?
when i click the link [http://dev.prashant2228.com/files/PolarClock.gadget] it says : "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)" on a new tab
