Widget Placement on Desktop?

Asked by victord66 (201points) January 9th, 2010

I have several widgets on my Win7 desktop and have dragged them to the right hand side of the screen as far as they will go. However there is still a margin of about 1cm. Is there any way I can put them flush with the right side of the screen?

I hope this will be a satisfactory answer: I really prefer Google Desktop. Not only does it stay where you put it, and contain all the widgets anyone ever needs, it also is in an indexer for fast searches on your drive, and Windows Search is a notorious system hog, slow, and incomplete.

Since the little control bar for the widget is on the right, it counts that as the border of the widget and so stops it there when you try to take it to the edge. What you can try to do is grab the left side of a widget, and drag it past the edge of the screen, and then drag it back slowly. You won’t be able to put it flush with the corner, as when you get close it will snap back, but it may be better. Didn’t cut off any useful space when i tried it. I’ll also see if there’s a way to get it not to snap, but I haven’t tried yet.

Thanks pdworkin, that worked, but I loose a bit of info on my calendar. If it didn’t snap they I could position it just fine. ????

Yeah. Sorry, i fiddled with it for a while but couldn’t seem to get it to not snap. you could always google it and see if someone has found a way, but I can’t seem to. Sorry.
