I downloaded the archive again, and am getting the same message, but this time it mounts properly when I click “Open” on the warning dialog. Widget can be copied out of the archive and works perfectly. Guess it was an unfavourable moon phase for my computer last night.

Thanks!

This is perfect. :)

However, when I download the .dmg and try to open it, OSX gives me the message “The disk image you are opening may be damaged and could damage your system”. If I proceed, I get a message that the image doesn’t contain a valid file system. I’m using 10.4.10, which is more rigorous in checking .dmg integrity.

Can you re-create the image and post it again? Thanks.

PS Also, your server is serving the file as “text/plain” instead of binary. Maybe that’s corrupting the image?

Awesome, just what I was looking for.

It would be even better if the icon in the dock was gone while dashboard was disabled.
But since this is fairly obvious, i’d guess that this isn’t very easily done?

Thanks…

[…] Jetzt hab ich’s beseitigt, und Ruhe ist. Ich mein Dashboard, nicht Spotlight. Ein einfaches kleines Widget (!), mit einer Zugabe, um Dashboard wieder zu starten, wenn man’s mal braucht, hat die Angelegenheit für mich erledigt. Und wann braucht man es? Beim Systemupdate – möglicherweise –, denn da führte es wohl beim UpDate zu MacOSX 10.4.1 mal zu Problemen. […]

Thanks very much, the Dashboard can slow down the system.

I prefer to disable the Dashboard altogether to prevent accidentally starting it up. If you accidentally press F-12 or click the Dashboard icon in the Dock, Dashboard is in memory and there’s no way to ‘quit’ it apart from killing the Dock. Disabling it gets around this.
