10.4: Detach widgets from the Dashboard
Authored by: jbouklas on May 01, '05 01:36:07PM

Amazing! Works just like it should now. Of course, it is kind of sad that we had to use a developer trick to get similar functionality to the great program Konfabulator. Somebody mentioned previously that they could only have one open at a time using Dashboard and this hint: I can open as many as I like and place them anywhere on the screen. Got my stocks up, the weather, itunes remote, and stickies all while typing this. Thanks,

Jim

10.4: Detach widgets from the Dashboard

Jim: Exactly how did you go about detaching more than one widget to the desktop at a time? I can't get more than one to display at a time.

Here's how I did it:

1) Moved a Widget from Dashboard to the Desktop
2) Moved another Widget from the Dashboard to the Desktop

Of course, if you forgot to follow the instructions in this OSXHint, then nothing will work right. Do that first...

Pretty straightforward. I just enabled the dev tools as per the hint, hit F12, dragged the widget I wanted, and while clicking on the widget hit F12 again. I can do that for as many widgets as I like, and they'll stay on the desktop.

Actually, if you actually shake the widget around a lot, it works the same way as well.
