Widgets.

I was going through an old PC Format DVD with lots of free goodies on and i came across a programme called Yahoo Widgets and i downloaded it as i heard about Widgets earlier on today. I liked the whole idea of it and it looked cool on my desktop but it had American info coming up and i did not know how to change the info.

is there something like that one but with info on from South Africa?

Not exactly the same...but I'm pretty chuffed with the iGoogle setup atm. It has my gmail, calendar, ToDo, bookmarks, weather...everything on 1 page.

But its in the browser...so its not exactly the same.

I suspect that the vista gadgets are a lot better than the yahoo gadgets...

oh ok i will have a look. i think its quite cool how it works on your desktop.

You should be able to change it. What info are you talking about though? Weather? News?

If you dig around in settings, there should be an option to add your city. Typing in Cape Town usually works

i actually googled the change settings thing and was able to change the weather on a webpage but i could not get it to change on the actual widget, do i have to sign in or something for the info to work?

Widgets?? I thought this was a thread about the little plastic (widgets) inserts in the draught cans/bottles.
