Re: always visible Dashboard / stay on top?

The only place I know of for widgets is here: »www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/

As resizing goes, you can try this (I personally haven't tried it) »developer.apple.com/documentatio···ing.html

You have to enter the command in Terminal.

Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > Terminal.

At the moment, No. But if you go to the official Apple website you can view information and pictures of different widgets before you download them.

Official Apple.com Widgets - »www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/
