Desktop Sidebar is a software that displays e-mails, appointments, tasks, notes, Messenger contacts, stock quotes, weather forecasts, and news from blogs and RSS feeds. It is docked to the edge of the screen and is always visible. It constantly updates the content for the user to access conveniently.

One of the key benefits of Desktop Sidebar is the sheer range of options available to you. There are numerous "panels" to choose from, each of which serves as a conduit for a different type of information. You can customize each of these panels to your liking, docking them to the screen's edge or arranging them all over your desktop. In addition, every panel includes a range of specific options, allowing you to tailor the program to your precise needs.
In terms of aesthetics, the team behind Desktop Sidebar has put a great deal of effort into ensuring that users can find a look that suits their preferences. There are hundreds of skins available on the program's website, and you can also use an intuitive Skin Editor to make further changes.
So, what types of panels are available to you? There are many to choose from, including the likes of the Newsroom Panel, which aggregates RSS newsfeeds and ATOM. Other options include the Calendar Panel (to display appointments from Microsoft Outlook), the Tasks Panel (to display Outlook tasks), the Inbox Panel (to view Outlook folders), and the Performance Panel (which shows the workload of your computer).
Other panels include the Mail Checker (to view email even without Outlook), the Clock Panel (offering both analog and digital options), the Messenger Panel (showing your online contacts on your sidebar), and the Media Player Panel (to control Windows Media Player). You can also use the WinAmp Panel (to control WinAmp), the Volume Control Panel (for easy access to system volume and mute settings), and the Toolbar Panel (allowing you to move your Quick Launch toolbar from the Windows Taskbar). Other options include the Weather Panel (showing a weather forecast), the Search Bar Panel (for instant access to Google and other search engines), and the Stock Panel (which displays stock quotes).
All in all, Desktop Sidebar is a feature-packed program that offers users a wide range of options for customizing their PC desktop experience. Whether you're looking to streamline your productivity, stay up to date on the latest news, or simply customize your PC's look and feel, the program is well worth checking out.
