What Dashboard widgets do you use?

[Ann P]

Doesn't seem like too many people are fans of the Dashboard. I, for one, find it pretty convenient. Right now I'm using 'iStat Pro' and 'Organized'. Please share your widgets if you use it daily as well.

I just use iStat Nano to keep an eye on all components' temperatures.

Weatherbug, Characterpal, iStat nano on my laptop otherwise I stick to the first two.

I myself find Dashboard very useful. Use it all the time for quick access to particular info.

My Widgets are as follows:

ESPN Scoreboards for whatever major sports are going on.
Time Map for keeping track of current times around the country/world.
iStat Pro for obvious reasons.
Currency Converter to keep track of the declining dollar.
Application Update to make certain I'm as up to date as I can be with my apps.
Calendar...can never have too many of those around.
Radar In Motion to have a quick look at local weather imagery.

iStat Nano, Weather, Sudoku, sometimes Calendar, Calculator, sometimes Dictionary / Thesaurus if I can't spare the real estate to pop the one out of the dock.

Weather, iTunes, Calendar (useful since in Leopard it can actually show you your events for the day), and To Dos. I'd LOVE for a Notes equivalent for To Dos (meaning it would work with Mail.app's Notes). I used to love OnTour before it went down too.

 

[SnowLeopard2008]

iStat Pro for monitoring network, fans, and temperatures.

I think the only non-default widget I have is iStat nano. Other then that, all widgets that I have came with Leopard.

For some reason I use the Calculator widget a lot. It's pretty conveinent I guess.

 

[zw-gator]

Calculator
iStat
The Weather Network widget (it’s amazing for us Canadians)

I wish there were more good ones, but I really can’t find any that are useful.

Everyone uses iStat, it is awesome. comes in the menu, slim, or pro version. I also use scientific calc. and stop dashboard.

Screenshot Plus. Nice options and more convenient than the keyboard shortcuts.

Edit: just tried iStat and I like... thanks
