&lt;p&gt;I have noticed that if I right click the gadget and I refresh the start.com service which starts the gadget, the gadget is rendered always in the right way. So probably it is a problem of the page loading event or of the start.com service processing all the requests.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ciao&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ciao :-P&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.liveside.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1525" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Live Spaces: The challenges facing gadget developers</title><link>http://www.liveside.net/developer/archive/2006/10/03/Live-Spaces_3A00_-The-challenges-facing-gadget-developers.aspx#1265</link><pubDate>Sun, 19 Nov 2006 19:02:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">56c526a3-1f9b-4262-a0cc-2de2ce4c7619:1265</guid><dc:creator>daniele bonini</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;To get u with more problems :-), &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;if you can tip the right people from your side,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the boxes containing the gadgets, can I call them webparts?, have a strange behaviour on the rendering of their size, particularly the height. I guess it is a css problem. In any way, when u load your space some *boxes* are of the right height, some are not at all. The result is usually a space with many blank spaces and the things in disorder. Otherwise u have to reload your space many times until the browser seems to eat it well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hopes this helps and u can find a fast solution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Grazie&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.liveside.net/blogs/developer/archive/2006/10/03/Live-Spaces_3A00_-The-challenges-facing-gadget-developers.aspx"&gt;http://www.liveside.net/blogs/developer/archive/2006/10/03/Live-Spaces_3A00_-The-challenges-facing-gadget-developers.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can say u it doesn't function at all. I have already submited three or four new versions of differents gadget implemented as u stated here but I didn't get any result. Just a white background. As the the theme of my space has a white background I could guess that the problem is from the source of the frame, I'm unable to override the *default setting*. &lt;/p&gt;
