I like the concept but it seems it is not working properly in SL. The widget does not chance its color and turning on/off does not change the Time Machine menu icon.

Nifty; I don't want junk in the dock either and I do use the "Backup Now" option fairly often each day for backing up development directories. Dashboard is active in the LH screen corner, so zip-click from anywhere and that's done. My *nix days go back to PARC and this is just the sort of widget that GUIs are good for.

pretty pointless..
though, it makes me want to make a widget that will load the finder window. or i could make one that loads safari.
maybe one that shuts down the computer?

Thank you very much! For me, another click is just fine to not have something in my dock that I rarely use.

So instead of invoking Time Machine with the Dock icon - 1 click. Good Times. :)
I have to invoke Dashboard first then the Time Machine widget - 2 clicks. Bad Times. :(
