A word about 8gadgetpack's gadget for Google Mail


Please note: The 8gadgetpack works like a charm and is more configurable than the original from Microsoft Windows. However, there's one problem that I found with it - the gadget for Google Mail, which I had been using earlier, and which has a nice sound to tell you when new mail arrives, does not always work as it should. Sometimes,  it will not install correctly, and will not be visible on your desktop, so you cannot install a second copy of it to get one working, because the second cannot be installed until you remove the first, and you may not be able to remove that first one, because you cannot see it on the desktop. 

So your only solution is to uninstall the whole program, and reinstall it from the beginning again. And that is not very nice. So I suggest you save yourself all of that trouble by not installing that Google Mail Gadget. There's something not quite right with it. The others all seem to work fine.

This Gadget for Google Mail seems to work without problems in Windows 7.
