The new iPod nano Web page on Apple.com features a delightful, photorealistic Mickey Mouse watch face, one of the new clock faces available on the new nanos. Since the Web page for the new nanos is rendered in HTML5, you can ‘clip' this clock into the Dashboard on your Mac, and enjoy it long after Apple replaces the page in the future.
- In Safari, open the iPod iPod nano page.
- Right-click or Control-click on a white area of the page in Safari, and choose "Open in Dashboard" from the contextual menu.
- When the white Dashboard selection box appears, hover over the Mickey Mouse face and click once. Resizing drag handles appear on the bounding box for the Dashboard selection.
- Use your mouse to drag a selection box around the Mickey Mouse watch face, including a little white area around each corner.
- Click the "Add" button at the top of the Safari window to confirm the selection, and the watch face opens in Dashboard.
The incredibly detailed and realistic movement of the second hands, and even the minute hands, make this a perfect Dashboard clock for any Disney lover. The watch face will even follow the time zone settings of your Mac to show the correct time and date wherever you are.
[crarko adds: HTML5 is a wonderful thing. This worked fine and gave me a chuckle.]
