Dashboard

Hi-
I just got the "locker" widget, which basically "locks" the computer, taking you back to the login screen, still logged in. I was wondering if there might be a "logging-out" widget, which could log you out when you click it. Does anyone know of a widget like this, because it would be very useful.
Thanks in advance

Has anyone got this widget, and thought the same as me?

No, i don't. But you have the same background as me...i think...

That is Halo 2.

If there isn't a dashboard widget that will do this for you, you can use the command:

shift + apple + Q

That will log you out. I have used it for years.

I use that at the moment, but want a more "fun" way to log out i.e clicking a widget.

Ya, but this widget takes you to the log in screen, without actually logging you out.

So, if you just don't want anyone to touch your system, but you don't want to log off then this is perfect.

This widget is a rare, actually useful widget. Thanks for pointing it out to us.

Yeah, I have it on my desktop using the "defaults write com.apple.Dashboard devmode YES" command. It's really useful in the bottom left corner for me.
