Wireless Sidebar Gadget for Windows Vista
I love Windows Vista and one of the neat new features is the Windows Sidebar. Well one of my favorite gadgets is the Wireless Networking one. It has a bug though where the images do not always display. I fixed it. Here are the instructions, but I want to reiterate that I did not make this gadget. I like it and fixed it.

After you have installed the wireless gadget, put this javascript file file into this folder:
C:Users[username]AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindows
SidebarGadgetsWirelessNetwork.gadgeten-USjs
It should replace the one you have in there currently, and it would be a good idea to back-up this file just in case. I'm not sure why, but on my machine the path was 
C:Users[username]AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindows
SidebarGadgetsWirelessNetwork[1].gadgeten-USjs


EDIT: You will probably have to close the sidebar completely and then start it again. Also if it only shows 0% or some other error this script will not fix it. It will only fix the problem of images (the bars that show strength) not being displayed at all.

The fix doesn't work for me either. The js file is never being executed as far as I can tell.
