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

ISPIKE  Nice tip Jahwarrior, that's useful, I like running a couple widgets on the desktop from time to time.

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?

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!

DRHJARNTVATT  The widgets float because its an important part of them i tried to delete that code and the widget broke. If anyone got an idea how to solve this plz tell me, don't complain if you have no answer

TIM27  Will this make widgets actually sit on the desktop, or do they still "hover" above all apps?

NYMPHE  I think its a good solution for those, who really don't want to use terminal. Actually I think that, such an option should be included within the os X.

thanks to the dev.

ROBK  This is not new. Running Widgets on the Desktop is officially sanctioned by Apple when developing widgets. You just need to turn on the DEVMODE for Widgets.

DRHJARNTVATT  The F12 button is not always the hotkey for dashboard. On laptops it's F11 for example, because the F12 key ejects cds.

The shortcut may be turned off to.

To check that go to Sytem Preferences, Keyboard and Shortcuts. Check what shortcut the Dashboard has or if it's unactive.

There is no reason for this not to work.
