Introduction
They had been requested several times, sugested more than once ... finally they're here ...  100% pure glass gadgets With exception of the clock and the cpu, all the gadgets in the pack are fully transparent. To achieve this I had to do a lot of recoding, some gadgets only needed partial recoding whereas others, like the 'onedrive' gadget, had to be redone from scratch. We can now trully speak about real 'chameleon' gadgets as they blend in with every wallpaper you throw at them. With pain in the hart, one gadget had to be decommissioned : the feedreader. This gadget could not be adapted nor recoded because this gadget is all about text links, and when working with true transparent backgrounds, text links are the first ones that don't work anymore... The new design of the gadgets is based on the new taskbar of Windows 7 which is flat styled and so are the new gadgets. They have no color and have the same transparenty as the Windows 7 taskbar.
