Okay. Where? I can't find a Weather Widget control panel.
when you hover the mouse over the widget a little i appears in the lower right corner. when you click that, the widget will flip over and you can enter the zip code. hit done and it will flip back over

Here's mine... is it just me or did any of you click on the desktop of somebody else's screen to close the dashboard?

Am I the only one who can't figure out how to use the capture widget program to actually capture my whole dashboard and background?
Or am I just the only one brave enough to admit ignorance?

Ok - I figured it out ... Pardon the size, I've yet to learn some things with Safari.

That took forever, but now I know how to do it.
I hooked myself up with World Clock - Baghdad time, US war Fatalities, News GrabR, and Sunlit Earth to keep up with what's going on with my husband.
Dictionary/Thesaurus, This day in History - which is set according to Iraq time, and Quick-click Itunes.

I've had mine for just a few days and the Dashboard/Widgets was one of the easiest things to figure out.
If you have trouble the easiest thing to do is click in 'widgets' into the help and figure things out.

I could use some help with my dashboard
I tried to install a unity powered game once when I first got my mac and it crashed, so I never tried it again. I got bored just a few minutes ago and tried it again and the graphics were screwed up, then it crashed...any tips?

anyway, here is my dashboard



where did you get those "days til" under your calendar?

thanks ;)
I'm looking to get those icons ready for people to download. They were inspired by the desktop icon style.

That widget was from the apple site. Go to the OS X tab, then widgets, and there should be a Top 50 link. I'm pretty sure I got it from there.

I'm hoping that the iStat (top left widget) will get updated for intel macs soon, as it doesn't register the fan temperatures. It worked fine on my old iBook, just not macbook.

Ok - I've touched mine up a bit.

Who uses the muli-dashboard widget? How well does that function? I had problems loading mine up.
