Desktop Sidebar

Nice Free download called

Desktop SideBar

"Desktop Sidebar provides you with instant access to the information you most desire by grabbing data from your PC and the internet. The result is a dynamic visual display you configure and control."

Includes downloadable plugins to add to the toolbar, skinnable to your own tastes. When I 1st saw it on a widescreen notebook computer which has ample space on the right hand side, I thought it was a early longhorn build because of the characteristic clock at the top.
