My Sidebar

My Sidebar is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help you place a sidebar on your desktop that offers you quick access to several tools, such as calendar and notes. You need to install .NET framework 3.5 or 4 in order to run the utility correctly on your system.

You can take advantage of the program’s portability status and run it without administrative privileges. You may copy it on pen drives to carry it with you.

The utility does not store entries in your Windows registry so you can get rid of it using a simple deletion task. In order to place the sidebar on your desktop, you only need to run the executable file (there’s no setup included in the process).

The GUI is intuitive and allows you to set up the dedicated parameters in a short amount of time. There’s no support for a help manual but you can manage to tweak the entire process on your own.

My Sidebar gives you the possibility to assign a user-defined name to the sidebar and change the looks of the sidebar by choosing between three themes, namely Bamboo, Waterfall, and Acadia Mountain.

What’s more, you are allowed to alter the color of the background and show a custom image directly in the main window. You may import photos from your personal collection (e.g. JPG, PNG).

The application lets you access a calendar which comes packed with basic features. You may jump to the next or previous month/year, and go to the current date. Last but not least, you can take custom notes and write down the text in the main window or paste it from the clipboard.

My Sidebar integrates only basic desktop enhancement tools and is suitable especially for less experienced users. It is not a resource hog so you do not have to worry that it eats up CPU and memory resources.
