DESCRIPTION
Widget-to-Desktop is an Automator action that allows you to run Dashboard widgets right on your desktop. Once installed, you move a widget around in Dashboard and hold the Dashboard htkey. It will spawn it on your desktop.

You can actually do this by entering a command in the Terminal, but Widget-to-Desktop makes it easy. Please read the manual before you begin using this app.

    DRHJARNTVATT  Jahwarrior you are right.

    Exept there are some widgets that are a bit rpoblematic. This app or the terminal command is just ignoring the trouble and making the startups for the dashboard easier  (Version 3.1)

    MUSUBANA  Widget-to-Desktop doesn’t cooperate very well with Virtual Dashboard (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22751/virtual-dashboard).

    When I switch from one dashboard to another, the W-t-D function vanishes, and I have to launch W-t-D again.

    Could you fix this somehow?  (Version 3.1)

    JAHWARRIOR  You Dont need to actually use the terminal to allow this. You just open dashboard with F12. Click the + button to add a new instance of the widget. While holding the mouse button down hit F12 again and well, what-do-ya-know. Done!  (Version 3.1)
