Finding More Widgets

Although Dashboard includes a library of widgets from which you can choose, you can always find more widgets on the Internet that you can download and install. To find more widgets, visit one of the following websites:

Here's how to download and install a widget:

  1. Start the Safari program and visit a website that offers Dashboard widgets.

  2. Click the widget you want to download and click Download. A Downloads window appears, showing you the progress in saving your chosen widget to your Macintosh. When the widget is finished downloading onto your hard disk, a dialog appears, asking if you want to install the widget in Dashboard, as shown in Figure 15-6.

    As soon as you've downloaded a widget, a dialog appears, asking if you want to install the widget in Dashboard.
