Facebook messenger sidebar gadget(win vista & 7)

Here s the most cool thing. Now as i said in the previous tutorial if you have pidgin connected to you facebook account, you can see all the online friends in the sidebar thanks to howtogeek.com .
You can get the file needed from here  you can download it here


Once you are there, then you’ll want to copy the pidglet.dll file into the folder

Now you’ll need to open up Pidgin and go to Tools \ Plugins and enable Pidglet (Note that you need to have a fairly recent version of Pidgin)

Now you can install the sidebar gadget by double-clicking on the Pidglet.Gadget file that you extracted.

If that doesn’t immediately load the gadget, you should be able to use Add Gadgets…

And then drag the Pidglet gadget somewhere on the desktop.

At this point you’ll have a small gadget on your desktop with your Pidgin contacts, and you’ll want to click on the small wrench that shows up when you hover over it:












In the settings dialog you can configure the colors, but more importantly you can change it to show all of the people on your list, or at least more than 4 contacts.
