[QUOTE="caribiner23, post: 145465, member: 9169"] This month's [I]MacAddict[/I] has a nice tip for turning the dashboard on and off in Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). This is useful if you find things running slowly due to memory issues, like I did on my G3 iBook. I didn't see this anywhere on the forums, so I'm putting it here now. :-) (Mods, I didn't know if this belongs here or in the OS forum-- move it if you see fit.) [B]Turning off Dashboard[/B] ---- Open a terminal window and enter this: defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES and then enter: killall Dock [B]Turning on Dashboard[/B] ---- defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO and then enter: killall Dock [/QUOTE]
