I am using proportional gadgets, like the ones of intuition windows,
in high-res and with a backdrop, gimmezerozero window. This is what I use:

for the horizontal gadget (located on the right side):

GRELWIDTH, GRELBOTTOM
GADGIMMEDIATE, BOTTOMBORDER
GZZGADGET, PROPGADGET 

for the vertical gadget (located at the bottom):

GRELHEIGHT, GRELRIGHT
GADGIMMEDIATE, RIGHTBORDER
GZZGADGET, PROPGADGET

Note that the horizontal gadget will have NEGATIVE topedge and width, while
vertical gadget has NEGATIVE leftedge and height. 

Hope this helps.
