I thought in the anticipation of Tiger it might be a good idea to gather some of the requests and wishes for widgets for Dashboard.
A good ressource also is thedashboarder

Mine are:

? to-do list from iCal
? weather widget
? sports tickers and live sports scores
? CNN news splash
? system monitor widget (MenuMeters as a widget)
? alarm widget (countdown, stopwatch, time alarm)
? nice adress book (the one Apple is currently using looks like crap)
? nice calculator (again, the one Apple uses looks like dog poop)
? ebay widget (price watch)
? iSync/Backup start widgets
? translation/Wikipedia search widgets (customizable search window for other searches too)

I guess that's all. It will be quite crowded anyway. 😀

So what are your wishes for widgets?
 
- macrumors rss widget
- stock quotes (where you could choose what stocks you'd like to see, and not only nasdaq but anything you like around the world)
- you're absolutely right about the calculator and address book, they have to be changed
- stickies (it is there already, right?)
- some kind of a calendar for fast viewing

hmm guess that's pretty much what I can think of right now..
 
Check out Dashboarder, a lot of the widgets mentioned are already available. And to think Tiger hasn't even been released yet! Can't wait to see what other widgets people will come up with.
 
how about a color pallette that could store up to four colors....you could choose the colors from all the standard swatch libraries (Web, RGB, PMS, CMYK, etc)


Also a countdown clock would be nice. You would put in the title of the event, and the date and time, and it would count it down for you
