Widget Went Out of Screen
How do I bring it back?
Saturday, December 26, 2009 by MyInnerEgo | Discussion: New Users
I was using the widget 'OMNI Time' when I somehow accidentally dragged it off screen. I tried restarting and reinstalling the widget, but it's still out of my screen. How do I bring it back? I use Stardock, and have a Windows XP.

Actually, if it's a widget, NOT a gadget, you'll need to do this.
In which case you'd need to open the object manager and change the X and Y coordinates for missing items to bring them back into your screen. Do this in builder mode and then save changes.
Actually, just clearing the widget cache may fix it. Just close the widget, go to appdata and clear your widget cache, and reload the widget. It should appear where it originally did on first load.
Karen, I'm not sure a widget will be in the registry. That post was for a gadget.

Sorry....I guess it's obvious I'm not the DX guru that you are, Jim.

No problem Karen. I could be wrong, and thank you for trying to help. Always pays to help your fellow WCite!!

"Kill the process, then go into the registry. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\MyColors\ElementFire\Weather and change the 'xpos' entry to something like 300 or so. Re-run the gadget, and it should be back on the screen. Props to Shirley for finding this one."
You would have to navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock and then whatever area after that the widget registry is in, for OMNI time, but I think that should fix it for you.
