Cooking timer, because my microwave timer is quiet and I don't carry my iPhone around the house with me. Clock, because the system click is small and I can't read it easily if I'm just running away from my desk Xbox Live Gamertag for checking friends gamescores / avatars at a quick glance (for fun) Delivery Status, for checking shipments I'm going to greybeard it up and say Yes! I use widgets

For some reason I always get confused, so have just gotten into the habit of checking before I call. So sometimes its a two hour difference and sometimes three. *My parents live in Arizona, which doesn't go on daylight savings time. The ability to type a Tweet into Notifications is hardly different than having a Twitter Widget on your Dashboard. Like how Notifications on iPhone includes a weather widget. The other thing that might revitalize widgets is to somehow integrate Dashboard/Widgets with the Notification Center.

I would bet most users never use it, a few use it a lot for all kinds of things, but a nice big chunk use it like I do - set up the widgets for the information you want, refer to those widgets relatively frequently, never download another widget again.Д«asically, I would miss Dashboard if it went away, but will probably never download another new widget again. It's totally useful, but not the kind of thing I'm dying to add features to. I use Dashboard a lot, but mostly just to check the weather or the time before I call my parents*. I have the Facebook widget but wouldn't really miss it if it went away. I used to use a widget that showed my Netflix queue. I used to use it a lot back when it actually worked right.

For some reason Apple's movie widget works correctly about 25% of the time (can't seem to actually get a data from the server). I don't think I've ever used the search widget, even though it might be more efficient than starting up Safari to do a search. Nice to have quick access to a dictionary/thesaurus. I could never find a good stock quote widget that I liked. I have weather and a clock for each of three different locations (where I visit a lot because family members live). Widgets are great for a small subset of information.

No mention of Notefile? I think it's far superior to Apple's solution of a Mac App dedicated to syncing Notes. And if they included iCloud support, more iOS apps could work in conjunction with companion Dashboard widgets.Д®dit: Didn't realize Delivery Status was also JuneCloud. I think a Dashboard widget section of the Mac App Store would totally reinvigorate the Dashboard. I sincerely hope widgets get renewed support from Apple. Obviously spotlight could do a lot of this, but you can type in entire functions that are transcribed from the work you have up in your current desktop. It looks like a chalkboard, but you just type in math and it gives you answers. I would love it if you interviewed the Junecloud guys about it.Д¬alcboard is my other heavily used widget. This note will be in the Notefile app the next time I sync it. I often pull up the overlay and then type in a quick note about something I have up behind the dashboard.

The iOS app is similar to Apple's Notes, but instead of syncing with a full on app, it syncs with a Dashboard widget. Notefile is the single best implementation of widget and iOS app that I can think of. I thought the whole point of it was easily glanceable information, for both the widgets, and the work you're doing behind it. Everything else you need to get started can be found on the DeviantArt page linked below.First Off - having the Dashboard occupy its own space, instead of as an overlay, completely undermines its utility.

YouвЂ™ll need to install Conky (available in the Ubuntu Software Center) before beginning. (GIMPвЂ™s magic selection wand and crop tool will be of help). I wonвЂ™t lie to you: getting this Conky set-up running will require some cunning you will certainly need to tweak the Conky configuration to suit your screen-size and, if needed, make your own вЂoverlayвЂ™ from the Sands of Time wallpaper. It sounds simple вЂ“ and it is вЂ“ but the result looks stunning.ДЄnd the good news for Linux users is that Deviant Artist ~ Flamer-Shaftglutton has recreated it using the lightweight system monitor Conky. One set-up that always impressed me was вЂSands of TimeвЂ™ by Ian Michael Smith вЂ“ a Mac set-up using GeekTool to partially obscure a clock with sand dunes. Popular вЂtips & tricksвЂ™ site Lifehacker regularly feature readersвЂ™ custom desktops along with a вЂHow ToвЂ™ on creating the same look on your own desktop.ДЄnnoyingly for Linux users the majority of desktops featured by Lifehacker tend to be OS X or Windows based.
