Google Desktop - widgets for Windows, which I use to this day

I want to share user-friendly program that saves me a lot of clicks every day for more than 3 years. This is Google Desktop c Widgets Gmail and Google Docs. Now almost all widescreen monitors, and some, and not one, so the "victim" of screen space is justified functionality.

Download the Google Desktop program archive widgets. Unpack, install and run the program. The settings include "sidebar" and "always on top of other windows." You install the widgets by running the appropriate file extension gg - they will appear in the sidebar.

Here are some of my favorite widgets:

1. Widget Gmail. He polnofuntsionalen, all the basic functions of e-mail client is always in sight and at a distance of one click - you can: respond, seek, write new messages, view correspondence, view any folder. When a new message appears in Gmail, it will automatically appear in the widget. It is very convenient and reduces a lot of clicks when you are working in Gmail - exist on your computer, Google Desktop already is justified only this widget.

I even redirect your corporate email on Gmail. If you only use Outlook, often know about the letters at once. One should always that he started and every time you need to open it to read the letter.

Since January 2014 this gadget has stopped working. If someone finds a way how to make what he made sure to write in the comments.

2. Widget Google Calendar. You can create events in a single click "Create new event" and to write, for example, "Dinner with Mikhailov tomorrow at 11.00." The widget recognizes the time and the word "tomorrow" and correctly add the event to your Google Calendar. If you click on "Show calendar", it will open in baruzere. This calendar is naturally synchronized with your Android device.

3. Widget Google Docs. You can open search, download and create documents. The latter function potryala performance, but it's easy to fix.

We put Extension for Firefox - Redirector and create a rule in its settings:
Example URL: https://docs.google.com/MiscCommands? command = newdoc
Include Pattern: https://docs.google.com/MiscCommands? command = newdoc
Redirect To: https://docs.google.com/document/create
Pattern Type: Wildcard

4. Search Widget It allows you to search everywhere and with many options.

5. Other widgets: Clock, exchange rates, news, RSS, widgets, calculator, weather, pictures, system monitors, file managers. I added them to the archive - suddenly someone come in handy. Prior to the closing of the panel has been developed a great variety of different widgets (at least in the majority and useless), but they also have sunk into oblivion, and even find their already problematic.

From all I need Widget "Weather", but it stopped working - if someone will restore its performance, or find a replacement, I'll be grateful. If you open the file in Notepad Widget, there you can edit the code - it is less simple.

Google Desktop has lost support and become available for download September 14, 2011. Support and development of widgets for Windows 7 also has been curtailed, but there never was really a usable widgets. And now, it seems, on more computers there are no similar programs - although, as shown by Android, Gadgets, widgets, it's convenient.

If you know more, such programs write in the comments.
