Post a pic of your dashboard!

[Pav89]

We have pictures of desktops, but we don't have dashboard pictures! Let's see what all you OCUK'ers use your dashboards for!


To get the ball rolling....

I use mine mainly to:

- Check World temps and night/day patterns (when I'm bored)
- Set sleep timer on itunes or a tea time timer
- Conversion
- iStat Nano

I find the dashboard to be pretty useless. It can be slow to start up and it doesn't really save me any time as everything I need/want is on my dock. I only rarely (i.e. once in a blue moon) use it for iStat.

Mine's absolutely unchanged from how you get it at install - just never found a use for it. Roll on the App store!

I used to use it for iStat and an Imageshack upload widget but didn't bother last time I reinstalled OS X.

If I didn't always have my phone on hand, I'd probably use a timer widget like Pav.

LaunchBar is my calculator.
Activity Monitor is my system monitor.

How did you get your weather widget like that Pav?

 

[Pav89]

Wow, I'm surprised how little people use it!

What, do you mean a mini version? Juts click on it and it hides

Mine is completely unchanged, I don't find a use for it either. I think the only thing I've ever really used it for is the calculator, and usually I just use the one on my iPhone during the rare occasions that I actually need a calculator. I think programs like iStat on a Mac are pretty much useless, it isn't really necessary to monitor what's going on in the background of OS X.

You have multiple (mini) instances each with a different location, how did you do that?

Edit: Found how, Duh! (add the widget as many times as required)

What's an iTunes timer?

 

[whitecrook]

Only really user the calculator, and the hibernate widget. (occasionally)

 

[Somnambulist]

A couple of these I'll remove (like the shortcuts ones) once I've got the hang of using the Mac more, a couple are quite handy although only used occasionally.

 

[Pav89]

Nice pics! Keep em coming!

Somnambulist, that shortcut widget looks handy! Might have to find it!

What's an iTunes timer?

It's a sleep timer, so music stops playing after the time you set

 

[Somnambulist]

Yeah it's just called xCuts, as you can see.

 

[MuGeN]

I only use mine for the converter, share prices and stick notes (second monitor is plastered with the notes )

Pointless guff.

I have the weather on mine, and that's it. Could probably disable it and I wouldn't notice tbh.
