How can I float widgets over my desk top?

Hi:
I am working on a Power Mac Tower running 10.8
I would like to see my widgets floating over my desktop reather then sliding in from the side over a very ungly backgound.
How can I get ride of this background?
I can float my widgets on my other computers but this one....no.
Is there a preference setting that I am missing.
Looking forward to a response and solution.
Thanks,
Rick

System Preferences. Mission Control. Uncheck "Show Dashboard as a space".

How can i transfer web page to desk top icon

unable to set a web page on my desk top so i can pull up

Hello,
# You can click and drag the site identity button (padlock or globe icon to the left of the web link on your address bar) to your desktop.
# Another way is to copy the web address, right click on your desktop and select New > Shortcut, and paste the web address in the box for the "location of the item".
# A third way is to create another Firefox/Internet Explorer/Chrome/etc shortcut on your desktop, right click the shortcut and select properties. Under the Shortcut tab, paste the web address after the ".exe" part of the target line.

How can I remove Firefox from my desk top (Safari is my main browser) I have a iMac & since I added Firefox, everything is messed up.

history is sporadic
many files will not open
tells me server can't be found
one message HTTP status code 13030
help!
everything was fine with just Safari
(no offense, Firefox is what I use on work computer)

If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up.
You should have a look in:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/Extensions
You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple.

HT1529 I have a screen that won't go away, how can I get it off my desk top

Hi,
I have a box that stays on my computer. It has four boxes on the left top that are general, accounts, viewing, audio/video and the main heading at the top is Accounts. There is nothing in the box that is clear enough to read and the box also says Location..US in the left lower bottom with cancel and save in the rt. lower corner. When I click on cancel I get a pop up screen that has the text icon that says Alert (null) with cancel and ok in the rt lower corner. When I hit cancel it takes that little box off and then the save button flashes. I can not hit any of the red, yellow, or green buttons to get rid of the screen they are blanked out. It's driving me crazy!! please help me get rid of it.
thanks,

Type command + option + esc (all three keys together).
You will see a new pane called Force Quit Applications. In that pane select, one at a time, anything you do not recognize, and click Force Quit.
Finally, select Finder and Relaunch.

How can I add new songs to the top (not the bottom) of my playlist in iTunes?

How can I add new songs to the top of my playlist in iTunes?
I thought thats what it did before but now it automatically adds new songs to the bottom of the list.
Not a huge issue but an annoyance.

Go to your Music library
Then, Click Playlist
Then, Click the sort arrow until it points down.
