Widget-to-Desktop4.0

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

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

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?

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!

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

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

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.

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.

Actually this is so old ... http://blog.tice.de/beitrag.php?file=2006_08_23_0807 (German instructions without an app) ... (and just a shells script): defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES

read the manual, followed the instructions, didn't work ???

sounds like a brilliant idea. didn't work for me though... when pressing F12 and dragging the selected widget... nothing happened. ? Was just dragging it around the dashboard. pmoshay at gmail dot com
