that last bit of information was VERY really helpful about not needing dashboard killer however I Like the fact I can use dasboard killer to turn dashboard off and on at a click of the button on my desk top. I use dashboard to check out movie times, doing it through the preferences, doesn't show me its turned of and its finally nice to know I can turn it on and off with a click... OKAY CALL ME LAZY but I think its nice just being able to see it in my dock and seeing something say "DASHBOARD IS OFF," not to mention saving on my ram!!!! thanks dude!!!!

Pretty useful little utility!!!!

Being a Terminal Geek myself, I have set up cron to run the "defaults write..." thing on login, so Dashboard is permanently OFF on my system (saved me about 30 Mb of RAM!), but for the average Mac user, I think this is a welcome addition to the Dock.

And with that price, who can complain ;)

Is there any way to contact the developer? Email address or something?

to the goose that asked "why?" and suggested "defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES"

there are always more elegant ways to do things than via the command line my friend....that's why GUI's exist

There's also the elegance of using the [Reply] button.
