A Black Glass CPU Meter reskin by Shadowline Designs.
All Credit goes to Microsoft for the coding.

I didn't like the style of the stock CPU meter with Vista, so I changed it to a more glass like look.

I hope you enjoy it! and let me know what you think!

.::UPDATE::.
.:2.15.07:.
For those having issues installing try one of these steps.

Try downloading to your desktop, then installing it. (I've noticed sometimes if you click open when downloading it doesn't do anything.)

And if all else fails, use winrar or winzip to unzip it and then copy the folder to your sidebar gadget directory. To find that go to explorer and in the address bar paste " %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets " and paste the GCPU.Gadget folder there.
Hope it helps! And keep up the downloads!

If you have trouble installing (17/09/2007)
If you have trouble installing it, go to the folder as writen by the author. Rename the GCPU.gadget.0000 folder to GCPU[1].gadget Go into the folder and double click the US-EN folder. Copy the files (css, js folders and the two files into the GCPU.gadget folder. This will make the gadget visible in the add gadget window. I love the new look, it is much better looking! Thanks JS
