I want a multi-Dashboard dashboard widget - I want to be able to create groups/screens of widgets and switch between them as opposed to opening and closing them manually. On my 12" screen, I don't have the ability to display nearly as many as I do on my PowerMac's display, and I miss that.
If someone would/could write a widget that could "hold" or "host" other widgets, I'd be a happy camper.

Did you get it to work?mkrishnan said:Actually, just checked. iComic definitely has a Penny Arcade plugin.
Here is the site for the Dashboard version of iComic:

You have to join a Yahoo Group to get access to the comic plugins, which is annoying, but there is definitely one for Penny Arcade there.
I downloaded the plugin and put it in the correct spot.
On the back of the widget, no dice in the frop down list. So i push the little folder icon. I get a nice finder window with which i can see the iComic library entries... the .comic files are not shown as packages, just folders. Am i doing something wrong here? Anybody? This makes me feel like a noob
.What next ?
I know it won't happen, but since I'm a little World of Warcraft addicted I'd love a WoW widget. It would show you infos about the auction house and if your buddies and guild members are online... maybe you could even send them messages, ok ok I'm dreaming....

Redeye, there are different versions of the plugins for the Dashboard edition of iComic and the original desktop version. I think in the Yahoo site, there should be a folder called iComic DE plugins or somesuch. You have to get them from there. There should be a .js (javascript) file in the plugin if you have the right thing. Then you might also have to reload the widget (mouse over it and apple-R) to get it to recognize the new plugin.

As for widgets I want, I woulkd like to see an MLB Scoreboard widget that doesn't suck. I got the one with the scrolling scoreboard, which is annoying. I would like it to be like the being of Gametracker. Also, it would be cool to have Fanasty Baseball standings, so I can tell how I'm doing.
How about an Xbox Live widget that tells you who is on and playing what (I know they have the Xbox Live Friend software or whatever it's called but I don't really like it).
I like the keyboard commands widget idea. I also have been looking for a decent (basic) text editor -- something more like Windows' Notepad rather than TextEdit which is more like WordPad. But I think I'd need this as a full application rather than a widget so that I can associate .txt files with it.
Anyway, it's my "learn programming on the Mac with widgets" project to build myself a little plain text editor Widget, so hopefully I'll have something to show for it before long.
