How do you reset the dashboard/widgets?

iStat Pro is a must.

I like the Album Art as well.

At Roley, press the + in the bottom left hand corner and click the 'x'?

Only widgets I've ended up keeping are iStat Pro and this image upload one (drag an image on to it and it's automatically uploaded on to ImageShack with the resultant URL put on your clipboard)

I like using Minutes a simple little timer widget I use for a quick nap alarm, or when somthings in the oven.

also if anyone uses iCal , iCalEvents is really useful for disaplying upcoming events and iCal doesnt even need to be open

The crash prevented this

That's seems more like it.

Actually solved it (via Apple forums) by deleting dashboard preference files, which seems to have solved it.

Cheers for the heads up on the Image upload. Great widget.

Aye, for some reason the guys who made it removed all trace of it from their site. Luckily it's still on the Apple page.

Done that a few times.
Does realplayer app need to be open?

iSam · 9 Nov 2008 at 20:02

Shouldn't need to. Tried a restart of your Mac?

Kawolski · 9 Nov 2008 at 20:38

I got all excited then as i hadn't tried that.

Didn't work though. :confused:

Edit.

AHA!!

It's working!!

What a cool widget, thanks for the help.
I love you guys.
