Holiday Themed Gadgets for Google Desktop The company introduced new add-ons for the solution	By Bogdan Popa, Security and Search Engines Editor 21st of December 2006, 10:21 GMT Adjust text size:


Google Desktop is an interesting application developed by Google that allows you to search for files located in your computer with ease and view news and photos directly from Google. The software solution is totally customizable, allowing its users to modify the appearance of the program by adding tiny gadgets that will also add new features to the program. Some time ago, the search giant introduced a new attracting element represented by a transparent sidebar that helped users add multiple features to the program. Today, Google's employees posted a message on the official blog, saying that new objects are available for download, being distributed as holiday themed gadgets. "Since the debut of the new transparent Sidebar in Google Desktop 4.5, we've been working to make it widely available outside of the English-speaking world. We're finally done, and now you can get it in any of 28 languages. And just in time for the holidays, we've added several holiday themed gadgets," Mendel Chuang, Product Marketing Manager, said. One of the most attracting gadgets is created by Teodor Filimon from Romania and it is represented by a Countdown to the New Year with a nice interface. "A winter calendar that shows how much time is left until January 1. This gadget's main purpose is to count down these final days of the year, so be sure to have it running New Year's Eve!" it is mentioned in the description of the utility. Google Desktop is an application that was also tested by Softpedia and it is available as a free download HERE. Remember that when you'll run the program for the first time, Google Desktop will index all your files, a process that can take from a few seconds to several minutes, depending of the size of your hard-disks.
