Hey, just wanted to know if any of you guys n gals use Dashboard Widgets? If so, what are your favourite ones? Mine are: ToDo Notepad Clipboard Wordpress Dash Google Adsense Report Also, anyone made their own widgets? Thanks!
I hardly ever use them. Once you have too many in there it starts loading pretty slowly as well... The SkySports one with footy news is all I ever check...
Only got half a gig on the lappy so tend not to use them as it makes the machine grind to a halt... I like the calculator though, and the email obsficator(sp?!)... Most of the widgets I use are for converting one type of data to another type, but like I say I don't tend to use it because I need more ram (Roll on pay day).
I get the impression it loads/renders/etc. every single widget first and only then it starts showing them all at once. That means the 20 or so I have loaded on there take a good 40 seconds to load - especially since most get data from the web, adding another element for delays...
This is actually the ONLY widget I use. http://www.widget-foundry.com/widgets/amazonart.htm Retrieves album artwork automatically and applies them to iTunes racks/albums.
That's awesome... Does it automatically crawl through the library or do you have to feed each album individually?
i think its when you play them, so if you play a track that has no album art, its gets them for you, or is that another widget?
