Known Issues

The following known issues are planned to be fixed in the next release of Windows Sidebar Styler.

• Gadgets with WPF support are currently unable to save settings in a unified way (via an API). Developers should save settings to a user-specific data file instead.
  
• Running instances of Gadgets with WPF support are currently unable to dock to the bar.
  
• Running instances of Gadgets with WPF support may not be uninstalled sometimes. To work this around close these instances, restart Windows Sidebar and try again.
