i want a widget thats like a super fast picture viewer.
like i could just hold the arrow button down and it would zip through
the pictures. But the pictures still have to be visible. I dont want to open itunes and the finder used to do this but now its too slow.

kinda like when in that movie, "the last starfighter", Grig is showing Alex his pictures from home on that little picture viewer thing and whips through like a hunderd pictures in like a second...

does anyone know what im talking about?

I think Dashboard's usefulness will grow considerably over the next few months.

I agree. I think this is Apple's secret with Tiger. Make it simple to build beautiful and amazing little apps which springs innovation in the developer community and differentiates OSX even more.

Same goes for automator.

Gmail

A "SMALLER" gmail notifier would be great too. The current one is huge

I haven't installed Tiger yet (it's on the FedEx truck though!) but I assume that widgets can be modified fairly easily. I've seen replacement skins for the calculator widget already. Am I right that reducing the size of the Gmail widget might be as little work as replacing some of the image files and changing the font size specified in the html?

You can move dashboard widgets to the desktop... but don't tell anybody I told you...

not to the desktop level behind everything, only on top as a floating window

You can using Amnesty, it lets you set (per widget) to float above all windows, layer normally or stick to the desktop.

You can't use Spotlight to find 'em?! Pah...

A Bible thing to type in a verse referance and it pulls up the verse from somewhere like biblegateway.com would be cool too.
dont know it is possible and i certainly dont have a clue how to do it. just an idea.

You mean like this?

Cool Free Widget!

I found an excellent free widget for searching iPod accessories... Great if you, like me, love those gadgets!

Hope it's as useful to you as it was to me! Also this one was very cool:

They are all a waste of time

Haven't found one that would make me change my mind.

apple should stop ------ around with toys for the desktop and get to work on a getting a G5 power book on the market

"tiger" should have been named "lemming" 😡 😡
