Incoming wave of widgets
by Volker Weber
Apple has published the first Dashcode beta. Brace yourself for an incoming wave of cheesy widgets. It's gotten to easy to build one. :-)

Now if Steve would only allow us to run them on the desktop....
Lotusphere 2007 cheese.
Widget here.
Volker, actually we will see tons of template clones. :-)
Hi Bruce;
You can run the widgets on the desktop - if you enter the dashboard and "hold" the widget of your choice with the mouse while you hit F12 to exit dashboard again - the widget will move to the desktop.
Merry Christmas everybody;
Markus
Markus, that doesn't work for me... :-( But would be a very cool trick!
Edit: Works if the dev mode in dashboard is activated. Type in Terminal
defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES
(or use Onyx)
@Martin,
Lots of V1.0 widgets :-) V2.0 under development.
@Markus/Moritz,
Excellent, it works - thank you.
Markus, coolest trick. Thanks a million, you made my christmas day.
@Armin;
You're very welcome :-)
and thanks to Moritz for the reminder of activating the dev mode as I had forgotten about this.
@Martin,
Thanks for the inspiration.
