Amnesty Singles - Convert Dashboard widgets into apps
I absolutely detest widgets and the whole Dashboard thing that takes over the user environment, but this would make them useful (insofar as the original javascript is useful). Thanks for highlighting this.

While I don't have near the dislike for them as you, I don't use them because of the action needed to get to them. Now that they can appear on the desktop some of them will get used. I'll have to monitor memory usage though.

Okay, I don't understand the 2 posts above (the one I am replying to, and it's parent).

Sure they are valid. You may disagree that it is an annoyance to have the interface go into a separate realm in which only widgets can be accessed, but the fact that the OS is set up like this isn't an invalid point. I like my F12 key to eject disks and my mouse buttons to do the canonical unix things. The nice thing about OS X is you can set things up however you like to. The widget/dashboard interface annoyed me in the same way that rooted X11 annoys me, or rebooting to access another operating system annoys me -- it seems needlessly complicated and precludes interaction with the rest of OS X. Widgets that run in the standard OS X mode are fine with me. Rootless X11 is fine with me. Running other OS in Parallels is fine with me.

I agree with the poster below. And I would add with a real application, you can use just that application without waiting for all the others to load as you would in Dashboard. |
