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.

How you get a white calculator?

Hey all!
I think that the Desktop Customization thread is great. Besides just being cool, every one in a while I pick something up from people's posts. Like a cool new app or a customization tool. So I thought it would be cool to start a Dashboard thread, to let people post their Dashboard screenshots. Besides showing off, I'm sure people will learn about new widgets.
If you're wondering how to get a screenshot of your dashboard, I find it easiest to use the Capture widget, available here: Capture Widget
Ok, so lets get started!

When i click on Wadget Capture it says
"Looking for something at Apple.com?

Does anyone find that using skins in ShapeShifter slows their machine down?

I keep seeing screen shots with docks that lack the grey background. How do I do this?

Oh yeah, here's my dashboard :p

Have a look at ClearDock if you want to change the default Dock background. (Click Here)

ClearDock removes the semi-transparent white background from the Dock under Mac OS X Panther and Tiger so the Dock icons are "floating" on top of your desktop picture. Additionally, it can change the colors of application triangles and of the Dock background to completely customize your desktop.

Can someone please tell me how to get the weather for San Diego, CA instead of San Diego, TX? I don't think its 100 degrees here right now...

Yes. Enter the name of the town in the back right?... Then press enter... Then you'll get a list of 51 possible "San Diego's"... Choose from it while being amazed at all the San Diego's in the world.
