Just installed Windows 8. No more desktop gadgets possible like in Windows 7. Very much enjoyed the sidebar gadget before.
I am no programmer at all and was wondering if anybody could write a simple Metro App for Windows 8 to display the results from the realtime.txt

Re: Metro App for Cumulus for Windows 8
It's only a release candidate at the moment and is not fully released until October 28th, so I doubt you will see anything before then.
Speaking for myself, having installed it, I hated it and the sooner I got it off my desktop the better. Like, I suspect 80% of the world, I will be sticking with Windows 7 or earlier for a proper desktop until Microsoft see the light and give me a Start button and make the Metro interface a secondary interface for tablets.

Re: Metro App for Cumulus for Windows 8
Thanks David for your comment. Agree that Windows 8 needs some time to get used to. Missing the start menu.
I am using the final version (RTM) of Windows 8 as it has already been released to TechNet.

Managed to get the sidebar back to Windows 8. Details how to do that can be found here: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/thread ... it-Version
