May Dashboards

[abrooks]

Well I'll see how this takes off, we have a Desktop thread no reason why we can't show off our new kind of desktops is there? :p

[stoid]

My favorite is the bobble 'hula' Jesus (an option in the Hula Girl Widget).

[iindigo]

Here's mine. In the top left is a widget I wrote myself to check school status (delayed, canceled, etc.), and I have the Calculator skinned my alunimum calc skin.

I don't have Tiger yet, so I don't have a pic to post here - but I do have a quick question -

You have all those widgets on your screen, are they always there or in the background when you use another app? It just seems a bit cluttered to me...

The 'Dashboard' is like a fourth Exposé function. You hotkey/corner in to access, and hotkey/corner out when you're done.

They are permanently displayed on your screen. There is nothing you can do about it. Just kidding ... they are displayed only when you want to see them. They are typically utilities you would like to have at your fingertips without having everything open at the same time.

Have a look at your activity monitors.

And we thought Konfabulator was a resource hog. :rolleyes:

I'll post mine here in a few once Spotlight finishes indexing the 6,000 fonts I just put in. :rolleyes:

[Lacero]

This thread should be labeled, "How many ways can you place widgets on the Dashboard".

[stoid]

Where can I learn the basics of widget writing? I've got rudimentary html/css/java knowledge, and I'd love to write one that searches for 'new posts' here on the MR forums.

[csubear]

This thread is such a tease. I was supposed to get my tiger friday, but it looks like monday. I can't wait until i get it!

[Mr. Anderson]

I see many of you have the translator widget - how often do you actually think you'll be using it?

Also, I imagine once the novelty wears off, you'll have totally different widget collections - we'll have to do a now and then thread in a year or so, so save all the images for comparison.

Is that weather widget the same one that comes standard from Apple? Why is yours blue and some others are purple? Is the color customizable? :)

What is yours set on, or did you modify it?

[Daveway]

Maybe it changes color due to the temperature. ;)

Anyways, here is mine.

[Platform]

Apple should properly say a gig of RAM recomended :p

[FadeToBlack]

God, this thread is REALLY making me want Tiger NOW!! :D

[Applespider]

It's blue during the day and purple at night. The moon-phase the night image shows is also correct. :D

[saunders45]

where did you guys get the bobblehead?

[Applespider]

where did you guys get the bobblehead?

The
More Widgets (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/dashboard/hulagirl.html) link in Dashboard. Jesus is one of the hulagirl options.

[saunders45]

Oh ok. I'm waiting to go pick up my copy of tiger. thanks for the info.

[iGary]

Just so everyone knows, each widget uses about 20MB of RAM according to my AM.

[Mr. Anderson]

Just so everyone knows, each widget uses about 20MB of RAM according to my AM.

That seems a bit on the excessive side, doesn't it? You have 10 widgets and you eat up 200 Megs?!?!?

Better hope to have well over a gig in your machines to run things smoothly....

Sorry, anywhere from 5 to 16 in reality. Don't know where I got that 20 number from. Too much wine last night.

Yep, but better than 20 :p

[Jaffa Cake]

I see many of you have the translator widget - how often do you actually think you'll be using it?I've got a couple of contacts on my Adium buddy list who live overseas – it's quite useful for decoding some of their usernames. ;)

Anyway, here's my contribution...

http://img229.echo.cx/img229/9970/maydesktopdash5pt.th.jpg (http://img229.echo.cx/my.php?image=maydesktopdash5pt.jpg)

... a little empty at the moment I know – I suppose I'll just have to hunt down a few more useful Widgets.

[Deefuzz]

Yeah like someone else said, I think it is blue during the day and purple at night...So no way that I saw to customize the color.

When I first started it up it had already put in the St. Louis for the city for me automatically, but I was getting no weather updates. I had to actually put in my zip code for any data to show up.

[iindigo]

Could you tell me where you got the calc skin?

Made the skin myself :D You can get that and two other skins at my website: http://iindigo3d.com/

The hulagirl slowed down my dashboard bigtime - it was taking like 10 seconds to come in.

did this happen to anyone else?

There are some pretty slick additions to Apple's selection of desktop wallpapers. Check them out in your system prefs. I like the B&W section the most.

I don't have Tiger yet :o

I had problems with my 10.3.0 install going on to a couple of machines (both needed video updates released w/10.3.2 to display anything), so I'm waiting for 10.4.1 this time around.

[ifjake]

yeah now i wish i had Tiger so that i could use the shipment tracker widget to track when my order of Tiger gets here.

wait...

[dobbin]

Here's mine. It will take a while until I work out which widgets I need or want, but these seem good as a starter.

I would love to post my Dashboard here...but I can't right now since I'm not at my Mac. I'll try to do it when I return to it...if I remember, that is.

Does anyone know if there is a phonebook widget for white pages? I really like the yellow pages one that comes with Dashboard; it searches Da Plus (http://www.daplus.us/) which is pretty good.

Is there a widget out there that searches Da Plus whitepages? Does somebody who has the skill want to make one?

If you use photobucket, the exact URL of your file with th_ in front of the filename is the thumbnail, already made for you.

This code:

<URL=http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y144/PatFrick/dash.jpg><img>http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y144/PatFrick/th_dash.jpg</img></URL>

Produces this:

Except that you have to change the <> for [].

You!, You've got the same configuration as my PowerBook, how does Tiger run on it? (ie. ripple effect, speed increase, games) Despite why my sig says, i still do not have Tiger, on its way from the up-to-date program, Apple says it's already been shipped. :D

I tried having more than two clocks in there, but only two are synchronous. As soon as you drop the third one in the the second hands are off. This is just really annoying to look at. :(

Mine goes out of line when I first opened the clocks, but after I rebooted all of the second hands were in sync.

Ever since that point they have been on the same second.

Hmm, seems interesting... but about how often do hard drives report a failing status? If they do pretty often i'm definately using this, but if they don't I don't think it's worth the menubar space an RAM...
In all my years I've never encountered an internal one, but maybe I was just lucky!

Where did you get the ical widget

[ifjake]

Where did you get the ical widget

All my extra widgets were found at the Apple website, and probably all future ones will too. to me it acts as a sort of filter for security and quality. i'm assuming Apple won't let any faulty or insecure widgets out there, and i feel like they'll look better too.

... but you can find the iCal widget here: http://www.benkazez.com/icalevents.php

[TreeHugger]

http://www.bowdoin.edu/~fjaeckel/index/files/page0_blog_entry90_1.png

Here's my dashboard. all widgets gotten off of apple's site. Made modification to the weather widget so that its constantly up to date. Made changes to the worldbook day in history so that the link takes me to wikipedia.org and hacked the world clock to show my local cities (unfortunately that got lost or reset with 10.4.1 and I haven't felt motivated enough to do it again... :))

[puckhead193]

i think i'm obsessed with widgets

[mkrishnan]

Puckhead -- LOL, the NHL lockout timer. Nice. :D I think I'm obsessed with widgets too. I think I need some kind of control in the back of my mind to tell me that using the amount of memory a widget needs to have an uptime timer is not a good use of resources! :D But then again, after initial stability issues with Tiger, I started keeping Terminal running, and to be honest, it hasn't been that useful except for checking uptime. Because as soon as I started keeping terminal going in the background, my computer stopped locking up! :eek:

Treehugger, which doppler widget is that? Is it the KM-USDoppler one? If so, does it ever "forget" which region you're in? I can't tell if you're in NE or MW right now, but when I tried that widget, I really liked it, except that it kept reverting to NE.... Maybe I need to give it another try. Its maps are an improvement over the standard US Doppler (which I use now).

I use the US Weather Plus 4.0 Widget. Works great. Haven't noticed it forgetting anything, but then again, I'm east coast. so if it would forget I wouldn't notice because thats where I have it anyway.

Sweet! Thanks! :) The issue I noticed was only with the KM widget for some reason. And this one seems a lot better! :D The only really cool thing about KM was that you could click on the doppler map to get a hi-res one (maybe 640x480-ish) in the widget itself. Actually, it seems that you can get the hi-res map in this widget in your browser by clicking. Nice. :cool:

Had to take a picture of one of the rare Reversi wins.

What was the zero-point in Fahrenheit? I think 100°F is about body temperature IIRC, but is 0°F = 0°C?
Internet good. (http://www.sizes.com/units/temperature_Fahrenheit.htm) ;)

As the zero point on his scale Fahrenheit chose the temperature of a bath of ice melting in a solution of common salt, a standard 18th century way of getting a low temperature in the laboratory (and in the kitchen, as in an old-fashioned ice cream churn). He set 32 degrees as the temperature of ice melting in water. For a consistent, reproducible high point he chose the temperature of the blood of a healthy person (his wife), which he measured in the armpit and called 96 degrees. (The number arises from beginning with a scale of 12 intervals, like a one-foot ruler, and then doubling the number of steps as instruments become more precise, making 24 intervals, then 48, and finally 96.)

Just added the DashFlix, PacMan and iTunes Lyrics widgets. iCal Events 2.0 is much improved as well.

Where did you get the iTunes lyrics widget? I'd like to have that one. I checked Apple's widgets page and didn't see it.

Yeah, I found it at that site. Thanks for the link!

EDIT: I guess most of the music I listen to is too obscure for that widget to find the lyrics.

Thanks for the link, anyway. That's a cool site.

Agreed, everyday when I look at my NHL Lockout Timer I feel pain. I feel as if I can not live another day without hockey. These past 246 days 1 hour 5 minutes and 7 seconds have been the most painful in my life. :(

You know, I quite loved the lockout, since we had one hell of a season here in Germany with all the NHL players playing... :D
It could last another season you know... :p
