10.4: Detach widgets from the Dashboard
Authored by: wlogon on Jun 08, '05 12:40:23AM
If you are already digging through the defaults database, there is another option: Set the key "in-layer" to "NO"! This will move the widget out of the the Dashboard layer into the screen layer. You only need to restart the Dock to make things happen. Suchan on-screen not-in-layer widget is slightly different from a developer mode layer. To remove it, it must be removed from Dashboard by using the close-button. Or you put it into that layer by changing that flag again.

This is from my "com.apple.dashboard.plist" file.
