Mac OS X widgets can run on Windows 7 with the Kludget Engine. The stock dashboard widgets that come with Mac OS, the ones that do not require plugins, ran smoothly when tested with the Kludget Engine (version 0.9.8)

Shown on this screenshot are the following widgets:

  • Calculator
  • ESPN
  • Google
  • Movies
  • Stickies
  • Stocks
  • Tile Game
  • Weather

An update is forthcoming. So stay tuned.

Style 7 is a Windows 7 theme generator. It uses the default Microsoft Aero theme as base and generates a new theme using blackbox styles. Blackbox styles are created with a single, simple, human-readable, configuration file. Thousands are also readily available for download on the internet.

You will need UxStyle Core or UxTheme patcher to run the Unsigned Themes created by Style7.

The installer includes the classic blackbox themes. But search for more themes on Customize.org
