PowerShell Gadget Ranked 4th Best Gadget by IDG
As JD would say: “Good Times!” Seriously, it’s really awesome to see people using and enjoying the gadget.

PowerShell Gadget
UPDATE: The gadget now has a dedicated page
Introducing my first gadget. I started this partly just to see if it could be done and partly because I thought it might be something that I would use. The good news is that (four complete rewrites and too many late nights later) I was right on both counts.
The gadget runs in two modes
- Normal (non-flyout mode) commands may be entered directly into the gadget in the Sidebar. E.g. enter Notepad and hit enter and notepad opens up.
- Flyout mode, the whole console window is displayed as per the screenshot above. To toggle flyout mode click on the small blue PowerShell icon on the gadget.
The gadget console window is just a hosted instance of PowerShell.exe so you can change the font, colors etc. in the normal way. To get to the console properties window just click the button on the gadget settings dialog.
Enjoy. (Any and all feedback appreciated).
UPDATE: This gadget requires PowerShell installed to the default location. :-)
UPDATE: Having more than one instance of the gadget open is broken. I am investigating.
