Make the "Add Gadgets" button less obvious
In the nice slick UI that I have in front of me, the "Add Gadgets" button
(and next page buttons) are rather lame looking... maybe you can make it so
we tick a box and they go away, and then to add gadgets you just right click
the taskbar icon!

I know, I know... late in the game - but it detracts from the sidebars
simple look/feel.

Re: Make the "Add Gadgets" button less obvious
Why not take the gadgets that you want to still display, off of the sidebar,
and then close the sidebar to the system tray? (right-click on the sidebar,
and select "close sidebar".) This will hide the sidebar, but will still
allow you to right-click the taskbar icon to add new gadgets.
