Hello, Do you guys know of an app that would allow me to have a dashboard icon in the menubar so that when I click it I can access dashboard. This should be usefull for 2 button mouse users like me or for users (once again like me :rolleyes: ) to lazy to learn a shortcut. If there isn't any, wouldn't it be easy to work it in using some of the Do It Yourself features in tiger?

Help is appreciated. Thank you.

What's wrong with just pressing F12. It's just one key to press. Less effort than moving the mouse to the menu bar. Doesn't really constitute as a shortcut really, it's just how you get to the dashboard.

Rather than worrying about finding an item for the menubar, why not turn on an Active Screen Corner for engaging Dashboard? You turn these on in the Dashboard and Expose Preferences pane. Then you just move your cursor to a corner to make dashboard pop up.

Just a thought.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I didn't know about F12. I had messed around with the hot corners, but I usually wound up in these by mistake. I got annoyed. I'll try F12 until I can create something like what I'm searching.
