Виджеты в операционной системе — это небольшие утилиты, позволяющие сделать работу с компьютером проще и удобнее, без перегрузки вычислительной мощности машины. Маленькие программы можно кастомизировать — настраивать внешний вид, размер, положение на экране, создавая комфортное рабочее пространство под себя.

Виджеты появились еще в Windows Vista и в 7-й версии ОС, полюбившись пользователям своей простотой. Позднее Microsoft убрал утилиты из системы, сославшись на их небезопасность — большинство лаунчеров имели открытый программный код для создания и добавления собственных виджетов, что не отвечало политике конфиденциальности корпорации-производителя.

В Windows 10 и старших версиях полезные дополнения вернулись, но скачать стабильно работающий виджет, который система не заблокирует, теперь можно только в официальном магазине приложений Microsoft Store. Предварительно потребуется выбрать подходящий лаунчер — оболочку для запуска.

Лаунчеры

BeWidgets

Компактный лаунчер, который позволит видеть на рабочем столе один из выбранных параметров: время, дату, погоду, курс валют. У оболочки много настроек по внешнему виду: шрифт, размер, степень прозрачности окна и другие. Также можно запускать BeWidgets при старте системы или вручную, устанавливать цветовую тему и показ уведомлений. После закрытия основного окна иконка приложения отображается в трее.

Widget Pro

Более совершенная версия, где пользователю не придется выбирать между визуальными мини-приложениями. Можно запускать одновременно несколько разных — в арсенале около 30 виджетов на любой вкус, платные и бесплатные. Окна с приложениями можно переносить, закреплять на определенном месте, менять цветовую схему и прозрачность. Расскажем о самых актуальных.

Виджеты

Analog Clock и Digital Watch

Два простых виджета для показа времени. Первый демонстрирует на экране аналоговые часы, второй — цифровые. Утилиты пригодятся тем, для кого встроенные хронометры в панели задач слишком мелкие или неудобные.

Battery

Незаменим для владельцев ноутбуков и планшетов на Windows. Позволяет контролировать запас энергии на устройстве, в реальном времени показывая процент заряда аккумулятора.

Brightness

Регулировать яркость дисплея одним жестом поможет эта утилита. Не придется зажимать несколько клавиш или искать в настройках компьютера.

Media Control

Удобный плеер на рабочем столе, который позволит управлять воспроизведением любых медиафайлов. Работает не только с композициями на устройстве, но и с плейлистами в социальных сетях, на видеохостингах. Достаточно запустить нужный трек или ролик на онлайн-ресурсе или ПК, а управлять его громкостью или перемоткой будет можно с помощью виджета.

Disk drivers

Мини-приложение, актуальное для владельцев устройств с небольшим объемом хранилища. Отображает количество занятого и свободного места в фактическом и процентном соотношении, чтобы пользователь мог вовремя очистить внутреннюю память компьютера или планшета. Показываются все диски системы, в том числе подключенные сменные носители.

Common folders

Виджет для быстрого доступа к самым актуальным папкам: загрузки, мой компьютер, видео, музыка, облачное хранилище и другим. Позволяет разгрузить рабочий стол от лишних ярлыков и минимизировать усилия по навигации, одним щелчком открывая нужную папку.

System Info

Насколько загружены центральный процессор и оперативная память, подскажет этот виртуальный гаджет. Станет находкой для тех, кто запускает множество программ, но забывает их закрывать, после чего испытывает трудности с быстродействием компьютера. Утилита будет напоминать, что пора закрыть лишние окна и вкладки.

Search

Поисковая строка на рабочем столе — комфортное решение для любознательных. Напоминает опцию в мобильных устройствах, которой порой не хватает на десктопных девайсах. Работает с поисковиками Google и Bing.
