10.4: Open Dashboard at login with AppleScript
Authored by: pepi on Aug 16, '05 07:33:14PM

I have to admit that I didn't try this yet (don't wanna logout now), but why not just put the /Applications/Dashboard.app into your startup items? I guess this would launch Dashboard to preload your gazillion of widgets. Won't deactivate it again for sure.

Ok, ok, Fast User Switching to the rescue. Works as expected. Activates Dashboard and loads your Widgets, Dashboard stays active. :-)

Regards Pepi (where is that [Edit] button for my own comments?)

this was the first thing i tried: Dashboard will briefly appear upon login (zooms in/out) but, strangely, the widgets won't load.

to make myself clear, neither Dashboard in Launch Items nor DashboardStatrer did the trick for me. only dayglow's above hint to script the GUI helped (thx!).
