10.4: Change the Stickies widget's colors
Cool and all... but why use Dashboard widget Stickies rather than plain old Stickies? Is it this ability to change colours / backgrounds? Seems to me a hidden to-do is do-later. Okay, you could bring it to the surface with an app like Amnesty or via Dashboard development mode, but my genuine question is why would I want to bother?

I find the Sticky widget completely inferior. I'm very glad they left Stickies in when they shipped Tiger. I have integrated Stickies into my workflow [and I rely on Exposé to make Stickies easily usable with one whack of the F9 key]. Beats the tar out of Dashboard's sticky.

I personally use the Dashboard stickies as a sort of clipboard when I have two or more strings of text that I'm continually copying and pasting. For example, if I'm writing a script for a skit, I don't want to type "Character 1" and "Character 2" over and over every time one of them speaks (and I don't have specialized software for script writing because I only do it occasionally). To deal with this, I bring up Dashboard and type "Character 1" on one line of a sticky and "Character 2" on the next line. While I'm typing the script, I can leave my cursor where I left the Dashboard sticky. When I need to put "Character 1" into my script, I hit F12, move my mouse very minimally, and triple click on its line on the sticky. I do the same for "Character 2".

i like widgets in general because i'm tired of how much memory stupid lil one-use applications take up, now they are all being manager by one app.. (i haven't looked extensively w/ process viewer or anything --i'm just trusting apple to make them more efficient this way) |
