OS 10.5 - How to make Dashboard widget appears on the desktop screen?
Hi,

How to make Dashboard widget appears on the desktop screen?
Now, the widget only appear when i click the 'dashboard' icon on the dock.

How can I make the widget appears same as my main desktop without clicking any icon? (like Windows)?

Thank you.

The Widgets do not work on the Desktop, they work on the dashboard to save desktop space for more important things..
