10.4: Use Dashboard in 'at a glance' mode
That's good, thanks man. Now if only I ran dashboard widgets continuously on this machine. When they take up 20MB of RAM (and after a weekend of the weather widget being online it was taking up 76MB!) I don't run widgets, I only load them when I want to look at something.

10.4: Use Dashboard in 'at a glance' mode
When I bring up the dashboard screen, there are no widgets running in the background. I have to click the "+" or use cmd-= to bring up the list of widgets at the bottom. Then I click on them the load it into the screen. when I'm done with it. I click the "x" in the upper left corner. That is, if the list of widgets at the bottom is open. Otherwise you have to open that in order to close a widget down that is running.

Note that you don't need to open up the bottom drawer to close a widget: Hold down the Option key and point at a widget, and the X button pops up.

'course they're not really using that much memory. Unless the app is actively doing something it will just be using up swap (assuming you needed the memory for something to get it written out to swap in the first place). |
