Fonts for Dashboard widgets

Some of my widgets are displaying weird fonts and don't look right. I have not changed anything in my font folders or in Suitcase, my font manager, so I can't figure out which font seems to be acting up. All the usual default fonts, such as Helvetica, are active. How can I get the fonts to display correctly in Dashboard?

HI Terry,
Sometimes just restarting your Mac can help this. If not...
Delete this file. com.apple.dashboard.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.

    Is there way to set thicker font for Clock widget (including Home and Unlock screens) ?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    As I understand, not by default.
    Check on Google Play store if you can find any clock widgets that may suit your needs.

  • No search feature for Dashboard widgets?

    In Dashboard, when you click the Manage Widgets button at the bottom and then you click More Widgets in the Manage Widgets window, you are taken to Apples' official Dashboard Widgets web page at http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard.
    At the bottom of the page, it says there are "3901 Dashboard Widgets" available. But oddly, there seems to be no search feature for the widgets.
    There's a Widget Browser where you can drill down by category, but sometimes it's just easier to search for what you want.
    There's a search field at the very top of the page in the navigation bar (just as there's one for this page, but that searches the whole Apple site, not just the widgets.
    Is there a way to do a text search for Dashboard widgets?

    I took a look and agree that there doesn't seem to be a way so you aren't just blind...unless we both are
    The only thing I noticed is since all the widgits seem to reside in the same directory you could do a google search a la
    "widget I want site:http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/"
    I suppose apple thinks most people don't commonly associate widgets by there actual name so categories are easier but it seems trivial just to throw in a search function with a nice little preview of each widget.
    Maybe we just didn't look deep enough.

  • Searching For Dashboard Widgets

    Hi,
    How do you search for Dashboard Widgets on Apple's website? Since they changed the site this year, I've found it very hard to find widgets which I know for a fact are listed on the site. For example, if I type into the Search bar in the top-right corner "tomatometer", I get no results. The only way I can see of finding the Tomatometer widget on Apple.com is to manually browse through the Widget Browser.
    If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

    Easy enough to find. They are here.

  • Looking for Dashboard Widget -4- Yahoo Notepad

    Hello all,
    has anyone found a widget for Yahoo! notepad that is compatible w/ Dashboard? They have this widget available w/ Yahoo (Konfabulator) Widgets, but I'd prefer not having to install Konfabulator.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Why dont you use apple's standard calculator? Just put calc into the spotlight and it will appear. If its just the standard claculator, go into "view" and you will have the option to use it scientifically. Just keep it in your dock. Good Luck.

  • 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.

    Hi
    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

    even powerpoint (shouldn't that be in a microsquish
    support forum??) have been responded to.
    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.

  • Dashboard is now using Fonts for Safari

I could not understand why until I found another user had the same problem after creating a snippet of a web page in Dashboard. Apparently Dashboard is using the Fonts for the Safari. Can Anyone help me with this problem?As it is now I can't read some of the material in some of the Widgets as the Fonts are large and overlapping each other.

    I solved this myself by deleting the dashboard preferences!

  • 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

  • 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.

    Check the Apple Mailing Lists. There are several lists that might be interesting to you. There is even a "Dashboard-Dev" list. Usually the topics discussed in the mailing lists are much more in-depth than anything on these forums.
    Before posting, make sure to use the archive search feature to check similar problems and/or solutions to try.
    Sorry about not responding sooner. You message hit the "sweet spot" on Friday. I generally only check this forum during the (work) week due to boredom. Once I leave work for the week-end, I'm too busy programming on my Mac myself.

  • My info for battery charging says "Not Charging" when it is charging as per dashboard widget.

    My info for battery charging says "Not Charging" when it is charging as per dashboard widget. Since change to lion all slowed down do I need more ram ( have 2 gig). Lost  some icons in web site icons and other random icons. So far SL better.

    Yeah, it was purchased in August 2008. I'm not really sure what a charge cycle is, but I do plug it in and unplug it a lot to a power source. Mainly because I keep my computer on most of the time (either on or on sleep). So between taking it to classes and stuff, I'll recharge in between and when it's really low, otherwise I run it off the battery most of the time.
    On a sidenote, I have went to that information thing about about the battery after letting it sit plug in for a few hours, and now it has this information:

  • 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!

  • Download Widgets for Dashboard right from AppStore

    I think that it could be great that you can download widgets for dashboard right from the App Store on Mac OS X.
    With this great feature Apple will boost the popularity of widgets because right now if you want to install a widget you need to download it, unzip it and then install it another time, then you will see the keep it advice or remove.
    I love widgets and Apple need to do more about them, also by having a new section in the App Store only for Widgets there will be developers who will build better widgets and also you could pay for great widgets.
    I will send this suggestion to the suggestion email from Apple.

    rbtwrld,
    Sounds like a good idea!
    Instead of sending an email, try using Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback.
