Adding and Removing Dashboard Widgets
Even though Mac OS X comes with a wide range of commonly used widgets, there is always room for more. Developers are continually creating new widgets, which you can download from the Internet and install onto your computer. If you no longer use a widget on the Dashboard, you can remove a pre-installed widget from the Widget bar or remove a widget you installed from your computer.
Install a Dashboard Widget
Press F12 to open Dashboard.
Click the Open (+) button in the lower left corner to display the Widget bar.
Click Manage Widgets.
Click More Widgets.
Browse the widget Web site to find the widget you want to download and install.
Click the widget’s Download button.
The installer should automatically start. If it doesn’t, double-click the downloaded file. If the file is compressed, you need to uncompress it first.
Click Install.
Click Keep to keep the widget or click Delete if you decide not to keep it.
Click the Close button.
