The frame can be moved to any position on the desktop with the help of the mouse cursor and, thanks to the options provided by the operating system by default, you can open the right-click menu and enable the window to stay on top of other apps. This is particularly useful when you're busy working in other program in full screen mode or a maximized window.

You can set the frame's opacity level to a preset value, ranging from 20% to 100%. Unfortunately, Shutdown-Reboot Vista Gadget does not integrate any other options of its own.

The small app is very low-demanding when it comes to the CPU and system memory. It has a good response time and works well, without making Windows hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. Thanks to its overall simplicity and straightforwardness, novice users shouldn't experience any issues when working with Shutdown-Reboot Vista Gadget.
