I loved the egg timer in the Beta 2 bits. Actually used it. Had no
complaints.

Now it appears to have disappeared in the 5536 bits.

HOWEVER, I still have the old stuff around on the hard drive - at least if
the upgrade notices are to be believed.

So ... is there a way of getting it back.

I just installed 5536 yesterday and it shows up in my sidebar gadgets.
I put it in the sidebar and it is working as I type.
BTW it is chrome with black type.

Thanks for the response Doug.

I just double checked the available gadgets. Here is what I see
Calendar
Clock
Contacts
CPU Meter
Currency
Feed Headlines
Notes
Picture Puzzle
Slideshow
Stocks
Weather

And I didn't find any listed for it on the Get more gadgets page.

I show 2 more, Number Puzzle & Timer
Locations are following Picture Puzzle & Stocks
as per brackets below.
Contrary to my usual clean install, I did an upgrade from Beta 2 this time.
I don't remember if it was there before as I don't use sidebar.

It's simply a scheme choice in mouse pointers. Windows Aero is now the
default but you can change it back to whatever you prefer. I like the
circle.

I did a clean install of 5536 - have the same gadgets as Al, and no listing
for it on the ''get more gadgets'' page

One of the most important movies of my youth AFAIC was "Cool Hand Luke." It
gave us a phrase more often misused than not. But it applies in this case.

"What we have here is a failure to communicate."

I'm not referring to the "wait cursor" formerlly an hour glass and now a
circular motion.

I AM referring to a gadget that is known as "Timer" but gets various reviews
in this group as "Egg Timer" because it seems to look like a high style
version of an egg timer.

Actually what i'm hoping for is some one to tell me how to find it. Can we
guess that it might be somewhere in windows.old?
