Maybe he meant 'stocks' widget?



Why do you have your PB's resolution to that, and not 1280 x 854?


I must have changed it, but never changed it back :eek:
 
Interesting how few widgets people seem to have. For me, the dashboard is always ready to provide me with info in a second.

See all that stuff piled together in the upper left? I can get to any one of those five widgets in one click. If I want to capture a thought right now, I want that sticky to be there at a button-click (I have SlideTrack set so that the bottom-right corner of my TrackPad opens the dash). None of this loading a widget stuff.

To the right of that cluster is my cal and calc.

Further right, my observations on wifi operations in the area.

Below, local weather and such. With a flower.

In the center, my searchbars.

Bottom-right, tunes and battery level.

Bottom-center, spare space for trying out widgets. Currently NASA.

Bottom-left, what's on the crapstorm tonight.

Above that, weather for people I know or places I wanna be.

I guess I would characterize this as a "Living room laptop dashboard."

P.S. Just before taking this screenshot, I pressed Command-R on my Weather, and it loaded as daytime at 10:10 PM.
:)

Is there another board with a thread like this? I would have thunk this thread would be more popular than it appears to be...
 
My dashboard. I like it. If you don't, oh well, it's not yours!

zflauaus, is that 145 degree temp from your iBook?
Yeah, I can't find anything to raise the iBook to let air flow. Any ideas? Besides the iCurve?

How the heck to I shrink a file so that it will fit on MacRumors? It keeps giving me an error saying that it's too big!
 
iPhoto?

OK Thanks. Here it is!! Maybe you guys can help me with something. Do you notice how big the text is where it says the temp in the weather widget? Also, look at the dictionary. The text is too big so it just says "Thesauru" with no "s" at the end. I don't know how to fix this. It's fine on my iBook. Can anyone help? :confused:

I recommend Photoshop or Photoshop Elements if you have one of them. Just import the pic, hit "image", then "resize", and change the amount of pixels... also when saving save as a low quality jpg.

I think someone said theres a way to do it in iPhoto... but I;m not sure how to do that.

I'd post my dashboard... but I dont have Tiger (yet) :(
