Would be very handy on our slow connection!
I searching app all-in-one, or widgets like this:
- Which can view photos in nice way
- View videos and audio in nice way too
- Which have calendar, contacts, YouTube, maps, weather, notes, calculator, mail, Internet.
And all of these have to be arranged by "shelves". Or app which has "shelves", with links to put there needed apps.
I'm looking for something similar to the windows vista sidebar ( the 'widgets' on the right hand side of the desktop. The mac ones are all pretty much different sizes and it dosn't give that ' neat look'.
Also, how do I place a widget onto my desktop?
i am having trouble running a dashboard widget on my desktop. i have the program deeper and i have it working all set but here is where the problem lies.
when i place it on the desktop it puts it on top of everything. thats annoying as hell. how can i put it on the bottom layer of my desktop?
for example if i was in photoshop, its on the top layer, i need to put it on the bottom.
how do i go about doing this?
I was wondering if anybody had a solution to this problem which involves placing a widget onto a particular Space on the desktop, I have tried opening the widgets folder when Spaces is activated to add it to a particular space but it does not recognize it. I would have thought that a solution to this would be available, but having searched the internet for any 3rd party app or solution I have found it very difficult to get any answers. I just want something that that allows me to work on different Spaces without having a widget appear all the time, except in an allocated space on my desktop.....

I hate installing programs that leave behind all kinds of files though, especially when they slow your system down like in windows. I'm wondering, when you download, install, and then uninstall widgets, do files get left behind afterwards?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI make good use of dashboard. I use the calculator and unit conversion tools every day. I also have the TV program and my internet usage tracker displayed always. These are the only four widgets I have on my dashboard 90% of the time. Over the past year I've noticed the dash becoming slower and slower. Earlier this year I upgraded to Snow Leopard from Tiger hoping this might help (and help boost the computer in general) and while I have seen many improvements, dashboard keeps feeling slower and slower.
E.g. I want to do a simple sum in the calculator. I use a hot corner to activate the dashboard and the calculator is unresponsive for 5-20 seconds, same goes for the unit conversion widget. When I do this many times a day I find it frustrating and that it slows my workflow down. I've taken to my handheld calculator again but would prefer to use dashboard for ease of use. I'm running a MBP 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB memory and Mac OS X 10.6.4 if that helps.
Just setting up my new MBP and have an odd problem with the widgets in that none of them 'work'. I can drag them onto the dashboard OK but they don't actually function and if I try to close them dashboard crashes and I get dumped back to my desktop .. screenshot attached.
View 1 Replies View RelatedToday I figured out a cool thing that you can do in dashboard. when you click and hold on a widget, and hit the dashboard function key (F4 for me) you can then put it on the desktop. Very cool but you cant really open any windows without the widget covering them. My question is how can I get the widgets to stay under the windows?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I like to set up my dashboard with 3x weather widgets, since we have microclimates here where I live and iStat pro to monitor the system.
The problem is, the weather and iStat widgets like to move when I open up dashboard. When it refreshes, the position gets somewhere else, usually lower or upper. I have to 'killall Dock' to refresh the dashboard to its original position.
i have a Macbook (2009), Snow Leopard, 60GB of HD free.My widgets, including BOM (Bureau of Meteorology), Adam Internet and Fetch do neither flip nor refresh. even when clicking on the 'i' button, or the refresh icon they neither flip nor refresh.presing Apple + R, having clicked on the icons did not work either.Does anyone have an idea how to fix this problem?

Anyone know why my weather widgets would move down 20-30 pixels from time to time on their own? I have two of them in the top left corner of my dashboard, and they seem to move down on the screen. I can't figure out when it's happening, it might be correlated with rebooting or something, but I'm not sure. My other widgets stay put, the weather widgets just seem to want to, well, go south.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAbout a week ago my widgets stopped loading, and only one of them is by a third party. I tried removing that one, but it was not the cause.
I tried disabling all of them, but the manage widgets window froze.
I opened activity monitor, and forced the unresponsive dashboard to quit, but it would just reopen and become unresponsive again.
While the dashboard is crashing my computer processors become dominated by this, and the computer gets very hot. The only way to get it to stop is to restart.
I have a macbook pro, that has been perfectly fine since i got it in december, I can't think of anything I have done recently which would have caused the widgets to suddenly start failing.
I have noticed that if I wait long enough (like an hour) some do load, like the post-it and the calendar. But even still, they are unresponsive.
Does anyone know if this still works?

Is it normal when you open up dashboard and some widgets are displaced? My weather widget is not in same place as where I put it and it overlaps some other widgets. I know I can just move it back but is this normal?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have alot of widgets hiding I've seen them once spread across the bottom of the screen. But when I click on dashboard all I see is 3 widgets that I have no use for.

Problem is, there widgets are always on top of everything. I included a screen shot. How do I get them behind the active window or how do I put them back onto the dashboard completely?
The little (X) in the lower left screen that you use to click on to manage your widgets is not opening up. I have widgets in the folder (library) but the widgets manager is not there. How can it be restored or downloaded from somewhere?

Prior to Lion, if I clicked on my Dashboard, my widgets would all appear "floating" on the desktop. Post-Lion, if I click on Dashboard, my widgets appear on a separate screen with a blank background. Is there any way to get the widgets back to "floating" on the desktop. (I'm sure floating is not the technical term.) I don't have a ton of widgets -- just the basics. I need the calculator widget to appear on the desktop so I can use it when looking at a spreadsheet. (It's not an urgent issue, except that I am working on my taxes -- and it would make life easier.) I am very new to Lion, installed only a couple weeks ago. Running Lion 10.7.3
