The three Dashboard widgets topping the list DashboardWidgets at the end of the day on Monday were:
1) 3-2-1, a countdown timer for Dashboard. It displays hours, minutes and seconds, and includes a lap function and a supersize. The preferences enable custom labels, alarm sounds, and notifications for each countdown.
2) Tempo, a widget that lets you measure and set the tempo in iTunes.
3) Stats for AdSense, a widget that lets you view your Google AdSense earnings for the current and past 6 days directly from your Dashboard. The widget automaticlly logs into your AdSense account each time you show Dashboard depending on how often you would like your data to update – this can be anywhere from five minutes up to one hour and is changed in your preferences. You can also log in to your account by clicking the “Stats for AdSense” logo on the front.
DashboardWidgets is a Web site devoted to a complete overview of the Dashboard technology in Mac OS X 10.4 (“Tiger”) and widgets that are released daily. Dashboard is a semi-transparent layer of Tiger that zooms across your Desktop with a single button click, similar to the way Exposé works. Dashboard is home to a new kind of application called Widgets, which are mini-applications written in JavaScript and “designed for fun as well as function.”
