[QUOTE="mac57, post: 310836, member: 17052"] I *think* you just described exactly how Dashboard is supposed to work! When you select Dashboard, OS X puts up an overlay on top of your normal desktop, showing you all your widgets. Your desktop is "grayed out" sort of while Dashboard is showing. As soon as you click on your desktop, or press the Dashboard button again, Dashboard goes away and your desktop is back. In general, there is no way to get Widgets to show permanently on your desktop. There are some tricks you can use to achieve this result, but they seem pretty complicated and are not how Dashboard is supposed to work. The general idea of Dashboard is that you can summon your widgets with a single press of the F12 key or the Dashboard icon on your dock, view them, interact with the, and then put them away until you need to see them again. It is like having a whole separate virtual desktop that shows just widgets. SO... maybe everything is working just like it should? [/QUOTE]
