Virtual Dashboard 1.3.1
With the release of Apple Macintosh OS X10.4, Apple released the Dashboard. The Dashboard allows you to use mini applications called widgets. These widgets allow you to see information such as the date and time, or the running value of stocks that the user can setup. They also can be games or just about anything that developers can come up with. The Dashboard makes it very handy to easily access these widgets and the type of data or information that the user wants to look at. There are literally thousands of these widgets that have been developed and can be downloaded from various sites. The problem with the Dashboard is that the number of widgets that can viewed on the screen at one time is limited to the amount of viewable screen space that the user has. To solve this, Virtual Dashboard was created. With Virtual Dashboard, users can create widget sets that can be switched in and out either through a menu or keyboard shortcuts. This allows users to create different sets and add or remove the widgets that they want to see. Virtual Dashboard allows the user to create as many sets as they desire. Users could literally have access to hundreds, if not thousands of widgets right at their fingertips
New in version 1.3.1:
Bugs Fixed:
• Fixed bug that the Hide/Show Dashboard items on the Desktop menu item Key Combination set to None (no Key Combination) left the old Key Combination in the Menu.
New in version 1.3:
Bugs Fixed:
• Fixed bug that new items added to a set, and placed on screen, then set edited again, Dashboard items would not keep there correct position.
New Feature:
• Added new feature to show Dashboard items on the desktop while the Dashboard is not active.
• Can switch Dashboard Items to show on Desktop with user defined Key Combination
System requirements:
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
System support:
PPC/Intel
Virtual Dashboard is a shareware application. You are free to use it as much as you like for 30 days from its first run. After that, you are asked to either purchase it or remove it from your computer. The cost of Virtual Dashboard is only USD 10.00, and a license can be purchased through Kagi at the Virtual Dashboard order page. After 30 days, the application will be crippled and the user will only be allowed to use the first two sets created. No new sets may be created.

MailWidget 2.0.5
MailWidget checks your email account every time Dashboard is activated — without having Apple Mail running all the time. So far there is nothing special but, unlike other widgets, MailWidget knows which email was received by Apple Mail. Thats especially helpful for those who dont delete their old mail from the mail server immediately in order to be able to read their last mail on travels via webmail.
Other widgets might say something like "there are 88 messages on the mail server" but only MailWidget will tell if there are new emails that hadnt already been received by Apple Mail.
New in version 2.0.5:
• fixed problem with some IMAP servers where MailWidget did not count correctly (thanks to Bastien Verrey)
• other minor changes
System requirements:
Mac OS X 10.4 or later,
Apple Mail 2 or later.
