Amnesty Singles - Convert Dashboard widgets into apps
Authored by: wgscott on Nov 08, '06 03:31:46PM

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.
