Thoosje Vista Sidebar is a desktop sidebar filled with fun gadgets to keep you entertained for hours.
Thoosje Vista Sidebar's applications range from clock and calendar to more advanced options, like RSS feeds, network activity monitor and torrent search. These functions are chosen from a menu and then dragged wherever you want them on the sidebar. And don't let the name confuse you - Thoosje Vista Sidebar can be used on XP too.
The Thoosje Vista Sidebar gadgets all work well, but configuration options are limited. You can't choose the size of the icons, for example. It was also difficult to decipher when exactly Thoosje Vista Sidebar does appear, as it seems to minimize and maximize whenever it feels like it. Some of the gadgets can also be further customized, although on the day we tested, many of the links to skins etc. were broken.
Thoosje Vista Sidebar is perfect for sidebar freaks, but really doesn't cut it for the rest of us. All of the functions carried out by the sidebar can be performed more efficiently (and with more configuration options) by other tools, and the overall look of this windows sidebar is clunky and unappealing.
Dedicated sidebar fans will love Thoosje Vista Sidebar, but it will probably leave the rest of us cold.
