System, Web, Markets and BOINC monitoring inspired by the AddGadgets.com (and Orbmu2k) Windows Sidebar Gadgets.Created as addition to
SilverAzide's suite to complete the transition of the AddGadgets.com collection from Windows Sidebar Gadgets to Rainmeter.
Since Orbmu2k's Windows Sidebar Gadgets completed the AddGadgets collection in this past era, some of them were also reinvented in this suite.
Compatible with Windows 7, 8 and 10.
Rainmeter must be installed to use this suite!
The download-button for this suite is in the top right corner.
