The only problem with the last post is that the widget will go away when you activate Dashboard again. Widget Master will enable Dashboard Development Mode so that the widget will stay where you put it.

AMNESTY IS EXPENSIVE and does very little that would justify its price. The dirty little secret is this: If one wants widgets to run in the finder, one only has to hold down F12, open the widget shelf, drag the widget into the finder by hitting F12 again

Widget Master 1.3 Dashboard Development Mode is greyed out and will not work in Tiger 10.4.2. This happened before on a previous version where everything was greyed out. Losing patience.

To the developer: If you're putting so much work into a nice freeware program like this, how about making it something to compete with Amnesty, which charges $20 for putting the widgets into a menubar pulldown list? You'd have one of the most popular extensions for Tiger if such could be done....

I use BitTorrent to download the this WEEK in TECH podcast and other podcasts, since I can get them quicker that way.

Can you PLEASE get rid of those file extensions. Yes, we all know that widgets have the extension "wdgt". Also brushed metal looks better with less unused space.

The author may not want to hint that he downloads illegal material either - you can clearly see a torrent file on his desktop :S
