Madhavi, I think what you are asking may be a question that may be interpreted as the definition of some of the core behavior of an AIR application. So, it may appear as an obvious, "yes". Take this as a really loose interpretation, but an AIR application very much acts like a Vista gadget that is undocked. So, remove the Vista and remove the copywritten usage of the word Gadget in the context of Vista. What you have is a stand alone application that can reside in the same space and is not limited to Vista users and is not made by Microsoft and uses AIR platform. Here is a link to a white paper about the Mini car: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/showcase/index.cfm?event=casestudydetail&casestudyid=530039&loc=en_us&promoid=EEMFC What you see in the demo is a gadget that acts on its own in the same "space". You can get the application from the slider that is shown at: http://www.adobe.com/products/air/ So, that should give you some room to be inspired. Teddy R.

Name it AIRbar. Teddy R.

Not with out some major work at least. I'd actually start over and ask why? You can create basically a gadget looking app in AIR. You can even use irregular shaped AIR apps too. Check out the Adobe AIR marketplace and look for Easy Cheesy, Krispy Kreme, and Dunkin Doughnuts for examples. Recall also, gadgets do not have to live in the Vista side bar either.

Vista Gadgets can facilitate information to other mediums, but showing other mediums within its environment is lacking. Teddy R.

I think more definition on what is meant by "Gadget" is in order. If he is referring to Vista Gadgets, then I can comment to the awareness of the topic and the limitatations that Gadgets don't play well with Flash related technologies. Teddy R.
