Bubble Wrap Gadget

Initially introduced back in Windows Vista, gadgets got discontinued with the release of Windows 7. However, these can still be used even on the latest iteration by installing specialized applications such as Thoosje Sidebar. With it installed, Bubble Wrap Gadget can help pass the time in a fun, addictive manner.

If used on Windows iterations newer than Vista, then Thoosje Sidebar needs to be installed on the target PC. It can be stored on a thumb drive along with an entire collection of gadgets, since it comes in a lightweight package.

Bubble Wrap Gadget benefits from the default set of features, just like any other gadget. This includes the possibility to drag it around the desktop, forced to stay on top of every other window, have opacity configured, or sent back to the sidebar.

It does exactly what the name suggest, and that is to bring an interactive bubble wrap on the desktop. Two size specifications are available, for more bubbles. Popping bubbles only requires mouse hovering over filled ones. There are several color options to choose from. As such, bubbles can be fitted with up to 6 different colors, as well as two unique textures, without changing the general behavior. Sound is also emitted when bubbles pop.
