Description
Additional gadgets inspired by the well-known AddGadgets.com Windows Sidebar gadgets and Orbmu2k's gadgets.
This suite was created as addition to SilverAzide's suite to complete the move of our beloved Addgadgets.com collection from Windows Sidebar-Gadgets to Rainmeter. Since many things like power control or volume control were never covered by Addgadgets, Orbmu2k's gadgets were a great addition at the time, so some gadgets were also redone for the suite.
Over time, many more gadgets have been added to the suite which none of both awesome collections ever had.

Hello all and Merry Christmas 
I have an issue with scaling the skin:
from 1 to 0.85 gives me the display below after a fresh installation of windows. On the old Installation this was working perfectly fine.
Where and how can I fix it?
thx!
