iStat Pro is an essential one!

I used Package Tracker for a time but now I use Delivery Status which is more flexible.

Stop Dashboard is great but I personally use DashQuit which also tells the % of memory used by the displayed widgets. Very handy, take a look:

But the most essential Widget for me is still the Translator ;)

It gives you quick access to the last week of radio shows from all the BBC radio channels.
You need to have Real Player installed.]]>Jul 8th 2007 5:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/07/enwidget-ten-useful-apple-dashboard-widgets/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/07/enwidget-ten-useful-apple-dashboard-widgets/if i look into activity monitor, i find that my widgets (roughly about ten pieces) are taking up nearly no cpu time, as long as the dashboard isnt loaded, and just idling in the background. and im not on some fancy new gazillion core rig, im on a single g4 12" ibook.

1. Sing that iTune - simply downloads lyrics for the song you're listening to and automatically saves the lyrics to the song.

2. Album Art - there are loads of widgets for downloading artwork, this one is my favourite it finds the art from your selected site and then if you want to add it you can choose to add to either one song or the entire album.

3. iTunes - simply lets you control iTunes while in Dashboard.

4. Stopwatch - simple stop watch 2 buttons Stop/Start and Reset.

5. Calculator - Very handy and simple to use.

6. Calendar - Always good to know what day it is.

7. I just downloaded the wireless radar, i like it.]]>Jul 8th 2007 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/07/enwidget-ten-useful-apple-dashboard-widgets/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/07/enwidget-ten-useful-apple-dashboard-widgets/

the Weatherbug widget (http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/information/weatherbuglocalweather.html) which has more accurate temperatures than the built-in one because you can pick a weatherstation close to your house and it has radar and

a great way to put a book into your dashboard so you can take a break from work, read a little, and then hide it instantly! no new books though.]]>Jul 9th 2007 11:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/07/enwidget-ten-useful-apple-dashboard-widgets/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/07/enwidget-ten-useful-apple-dashboard-widgets/Jiwire's widget can cause:
