quitDOCK Widget
quitDOCK is a very simple little widget that allows you to restart the Dashboard from within the dashboard. It does this by quitting the Dock, which automatically restarts and takes the Dashboard with it. Why So why do that, really it's a development tool designed for me - but I thought I should share it!! Maybe you'll find a use! It also works as a way to completely quit the dashboard if you're concerned about memory usage. Quit the dock, and providing you don't reactivate the dashboard (e.g. F12) the dashboard will not be running. Developers - some changes to your Info.plist file don't seem to take until you restart the Dock, so use this! Other times it's just nice to make sure it actually is your code causing the problem and not the Dashboard!!
Read the User Guide (this pdf file is also found within the widget - just flip it to view!) How to install: Mac OS X v.10.4 Tiger is required. If you're using Safari, click the download link. When the widget download is complete, show Dashboard, click the Plus sign to display the Widget Bar and click the widget's icon in the Widget Bar to open it. If you're using a browser other than Safari, click the download link. When the widget download is complete, unarchive it and place it in /Library/Widgets/ in your home folder. Show Dashboard, click the plus sign to display the Widget Bar and click the widget's icon in the Widget Bar to open it. |
