I admire your enthusiasm but some things you have to learn for yourself. The fact that's in an exe pretty much says it all: it's a bit of extra functionality which (incidentally) is hidden from others so we can only guess what he used - this is not functionality that is generally included in gadgets so knowing about it would probably mean a bit of research on the Internet. It's up to him (and/or the license of his gadget) to tell you what he used (and/or make his code available to you).
