Dashboard Widget for Currency Updates

First, I apologize if this is in the completely wrong forum. I searched but couldn't find a more suitable location for it.
I'm looking for a widget that will supply an update for a specified number of currencies compared to the US dollar. I'm not looking for a currency converter that has to be manually searched, but one that will update several currencies automatically.
Anyone know of something like this?

Is this what you are looking for?

Album art work dashboard widget for PC

hi
Does anyone know where i can down load Album art work dashboard widget for PC
Rod Dohrman

Im having issues manually importing artwork to all
the songs on a CD. I used to select all the songs
and drag the album artwork to the "Drag album artwork
here" box. Now I can only get the art work to show
up for the current song playing. Therefore, I have
to play each song and drag the artwork to each song
on the CD. There has to be an easier way because I
used to do this and it worked find. Has something
changed in 7.2?
Select all of the tracks of the album, then open the Get Info window and drag your artwork to the little artwork box in the lower right.

Is there a Dashboard widget for the telephone Alphabet?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to figure out if there is a Dashboard widget that will help me always have the international telephone Alphabet to hand (could be the NATO one, too, no special preference... just some kind of Alpha Bravo Charlie thing that will allow me to spell my complicated last name and address over the phone . I can never manage to remember the words for all letters, and I always seem to need it when my hands aren't free to Google it. Argh!
I explored the widgets download page, but I couldn't find a search box to search through the widgets, and I gave up on the idea of checking the categories one by one when I saw the International one had over 700 entries whoops
So any help will be appreciated!

Dashboard Widgets for iWeb

It would be great if Apple added the ability to add pre-canned coded widgets for inclusion into iWeb – This would allow us to add such things as local weather, Ski reports, stocks, webcams, news feeds etc...
Just drop a widget onto the page as you would any other type of media, posistion it where you want it, job done!
Possibly link this to .Mac and give me a reason to keep my account now that i don't use Homepage.
Any thoughts?

I made my point of not to volunteer my info in this
forum, because some one here called my work hack, let
that be known.
I'm not punishing anyone, it's my way of controlling my works.
Cyclosaurus:
I don't think you are trying to punish anyone either... I really don't. But I think the entire iWeb community here stands to benefit from your renewed presence and hopefully continued and constructive thoughts. It is your prerogative as to how and with whom you choose to share your brilliant work, but honestly speaking, I think a lot of the new people around here won't know anything about your brilliance unless they are able to not only see but also to share in it. And that's the spirit of these forums anyways, don't you agree?
As the person who ostensibly called your work a hack, I just wanted to say that I never intended to cause you so much personal anguish. You know yourself the best, so I won't pretend to understand fully how my comments affected you so. It's too bad you decided to withdraw from the forum, especially in the way that you chose to do it. Fortunately for you, I don't think that many people saw the full extent of your lashing out against me.
Having said all of this, I want to apologize publicly for whatever disrespect that you interpreted from my comments. I have moved pass this, and I would have expected you to do the same by now. So take this for what it's worth. You don't need a welcome sign from me in order to participate here -- no one does. I welcome everyone as always, just as I was made to feel welcome. Stay and share if you like....if you don't, then don't. But let's let bygones be bygones. What do you say?

Dashboard Widgets for Mountain Lion

Mountain Lion still gives us Dashboard.
Many Widgets that I recently downloaded aren't accepted by the OS for security reasons.
Are there any Widgets that pass the Security and are available to users?
If so, it would be nice that they be identified as such for Mountain Lion.

I think that Gatekeeper isn't allowing you to install the widgets > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290
In order to install the widgets:
1. Right-click the widget file and choose Open, or:
2. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General, and choose "Anywhere" under "Allow applications downloaded from"

How to update a previously submitted, selling Dashboard Widget?

did neither find a way to upload a new dashboard widget nor to update an existing one.. any advise or hint is appreciated!
Thank you.

Thanks for posting... I'm experiencing the same thing, it's nice to know I'm not going crazy.
I've periodically attempted to update my widget in the past year... It's free, I make no money from it, and neither does Apple, but it's not about me or Apple, it's about the people who want to use the app, and learn how to play the piano.
I've invested a few hours attempting to move forwards on this issue, and if it's truely not possible... then that seems like a large shortfall in customer service; it's not just the developers wasting time, it's the customers looking for the products.
If I'm missing something, please let me know.

Using Google GWT to create (Dashcode) widgets for iBook Author I would like to embed interactive widgets in iBooks using iBookAuthor. The widgets in question started life in Java but GWT has allowed them to be converted to javascript and to run on web pa

I would like to embed interactive widgets in iBooks using iBookAuthor. The widgets in question started life in Java but GWT has allowed them to be converted to javascript and to run on web pages (for example, http://softoption.us/content/node/437 scroll to the bottom). In theory, iBookAuthor can bring in most html5, and much javascript. The technique is to wrap the html in a folder, with 2 extra files, a plist and a default png and then change the extension of the folder to ‘.wdgt’. This is the technique for making Dashboard widgets for the Mac, and Apple even have the Dashcode software to do it. So what you really do is to make a Dashboard widget, then iBookAuthor can import it. So far, so good. And some folk have been doing this, for example http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/2/prweb9242432.htm http://www.panophoto.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=10417&p=158330#p158423 However, if you start with GWT and create a single page with one button and a Hello World, compile it, and get the WAR file (I use Eclipse here)… the Safari browser and others will run it properly (even on an iPad). Then if you wrap it, a proper Dashboard widget is created, which runs properly on a Mac. Then if you go to iBookAuthor and put a custom widget in the Text, then drag it in. It is accepted by the text and shown as being there. However, if you use Preview to look at it on an iPad, it is gone (or was never there in the first place). Anyone any ideas on this? [And iBook Author seems to give no warnings.] The widget is at https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46713473/Test6.wdgt.zip I have bells and whistles that I’d like to get into an iBook!
Thanks for any insights.
Martin

I do have a little to add, which might help someone. Indeed, opening a blank page and dragging the widget straight in seems good in difficult cases. But, actually, I was also able to insert successfully from the Toolbar especially to blank pages. So, it may have been something to do with the columns and stuff like that. Anyway back then the insertion would show in iBooks Author but not in the Preview on the iPad. I moved on to actual Google Web Toolkit output javascript. Basically I had three at hand to try: a Hello World with a button which went straight it, one of moderate complexity, (for example with a built in Lisp interpreter), which also went straight in, and finally a more complex one that initially was rejected by iBook Author. Author complained that there was an unsupported media file (of course, Author does not tell you which one it is, that would be too easy). [Remember, this was a proper working Dashboard widget which could be installed on a Mac]. Among other things I had read remarks about .gif files. When looking through the GWT war directory at the actual javascript etc files, I noticed there were two gifs there one called ‘clear.cache.gif ‘ and a second one called ‘0F89659FF3F324AE4116F700257E32BD.cache.gif’. (Now, there is obfuscation so the numbers here may be different from case to case.) The clear.cache.gif did not seem to be anything special. But the other one is an animation. It is three little boxes that twinkle (rather like a waiting spinning cursor). So, I opened that file and saved it to itself (that picks the top frame of the animation and saves only that, leaving you with an unanimated gif). The resulting widget drags and drops into iBooks Author (and seems to work properly at a quick glance). So, if you are having trouble with ‘unsupported media files’ converting animated gifs into unanimated gifs might help in some cases.

Dashboard Web Clip Widgets - "Time for an Update"

I have an issue with a dashboard widget that I created from the Safari button "Open in Dashboard" to create.
I used the widget on the following page:
http://www.calottery.com/win/winning-numbers
The problem is, the widget displays a giant overlay:
Needless to say, it makes this particular web clipping completely unusable...

I would like to do this as well.
I monitor an internal web site that displays network traffic and it would be very convenient to do this as a web clip on the desktop.
Can someone tell us where the details for the Dashboard web clip are kept? Perhaps there are some additional properties that can be added to it from the back end that would get it to work. (A port number, 'https', credentials, etc.) It would almost be silly if it couldn't be done!

Dashboard widgets vanish after recent security update

I just updated my 12" iBook G4 with the most recent security update, and now my Dashboard widgets vanish on load. I've tried repairing permissions and deleting both the dashboard prefs and DashboardCache. I've killed and rekilled the Dock process which handles Dashboard, and rebooted, and the darn widgets still vanish.
I don't want to have to reinstall OS X. Is there some way to fix this?

Some games lately can push graphic cards further and harder.
Check PC graphic/game forums to see if you can find a relationship.
No way in Mac OS to regulate or control gpu fan, monitor temp (?) or other things all taken for granted on PC and Windows.
SmcFanControl 2.2.x - at least you can boost 3 of the system fans and change the default and set profiles for work loads. Try a "game profile" of 1500 rpm.
If - and I assume the 8800GT is probably starting to stress and strain and slow death - it would happen in Windows also, if you have it installed.
8800GT: people blamed 10.6 and other updates as if it caused their card to fail. Unlikely though maybe with a card that was marginal or had trouble to begin with.
There weren't nvidia drivers in security update, but were in 10.6.4; in SL Graphics Update 1.0; and there is/was Mac OS X CUDA 3.x patch/update also you should be using. There were updates for GTX 285 that should have included the 8800GT as well probably.
When you system crashes, or before there is a software update, by all means ---
CLONE YOUR SYSTEM / RUN DISK WARRIOR (don't rely on just Apple DU First Aid)
Easy to blame an update for a pre-existing issue that was present.
And always have a backup you can boot from of older version of OS X (even 10.6.3).
Some people have gone back to 10.6.0 and then only up to 10.6.3.
Try a clean system install on a newly zeroed hard drive and test everything.
Wait for new graphic drivers.
Plan on ATI 5870 or 5770.

How to search for a dashboard widget

Can someone tell me how to search the Dashboard site for a specific widget?
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/
The ridiculous thing is, I think I asked this same question within the past year and someone answered it. But I'll be damned if I can find the search button again. It just is not intuitive. And when a friend asks me how to do something and I need to tell them I have to ask on the Apple website it's sort of embarrassing.

Type in Dashboard or widget as well as the name or description of that widget into the text field at the top right of the page. Press Enter.

Support boards for developing dashboard widgets? any response, please??

i don't mean to be a noodge, but 4 days ago i posted a simple request asking if i could get support here for some questions i had as regards some snags i ran into making dashboard widgets. while other people's questions about ruby/rails, c and objective c and even powerpoint (shouldn't that be in a microsquish support forum??) have been responded to.
all i want to know is, can anyone help me here or at least point me to other support boards that offer help for those developing dashboard widgets? is that too much to ask?
my original message i posted 4 days ago is below. i would appreciate response from anyone, please. i can't believe i'm the only person out here seeking support for my *.html, *.css and javascript files for dashboard widgets.
hi,
i'm trying my hand at the most rudimentary of developing for mac os x - developing a dashboard widget, using html, css & javascript.
i'm trying to make a simple widget that uses the real audio plug-in in the system (if you downloaded real player) to play a local portland, oregon fm classical radio station, kbps-fm 89.9 (www.allclassical.org).
i'm running into some snags both in making the "i" info button flip the thing around (it was working before, but since i added in the code that makes the real player plug in work, no matter where i place the position of the "i" flipper, it doesn't show up), and in the graphics i'm trying to create for the widget.
should i seek help here? are there better boards/forums for mac os x dashboard widget creation i can go to, and if so, can anyone direct me there? i know about adc, and am a (free) member, but they don't have discussion boards there and i don't want to pay oodles in tech support just to get some basic javascript and css questions handled.
if anyone could please direct me to where i can ask these questions or help me out, please let me know. thanx.

You shouldn't take the lack of response as a personal insult The nature of these forums (fora?) is that people respond to those messages where they can help and don't respond when they can't help. FWIW I've got two unresolved questions dating back to Mar 17th!
In my opinion, the Developer forums would be absolutely ideal and on-topic places to discuss Widget development..... but it looks like very few experienced Widget developers hang out here, so any questions would most likely go unanswered. My own skill area in limited to Java so I can't help out with widgets. No doubt the other forum regulars are in a similar position.

Looking for a Dashboard Widget

Is there a Dashboard widget that will notify me when I receive responses on message boards, like this one for example so I don't have to check email?
Also, is there a good widget that can store my passwords for message boards as well?
thanks!

there are certainly no widgets like that for general board and there isn't one for this board. Apple discussions notifies only by email so whatever program you'd possibly want to use for notifications would have to tap into your email which means that your email client has to be open.

Dashboard widgets not rendering correct for second user account

Hi - on my macbook I have two user accounts. My problem here is that the dashboard widgets do not render correct on the second account.
This goes for most widgets - the typical effect is that the text is not show, as in the unit converter - text is not shown in weather widget - and so on.
If I switch to the other (Admin) account then everything seems to work perfectly. I have tried removing the .plist files and changing the second account to an Admin account but with no luck.
Is there anything else I ought to try?
regards
