My first foray into writing mac os x dashboard widgets: Days Of Dubya. I think it turned out really well.
I did the graphics, Alper made a widget before so he supplied the know-how. Not that it’s difficult or anything. He also added the brilliant sound-effect.
enjoy, everyone!

“Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger is required. If you’re using Safari, click the download link. When the widget download is complete, show Dashboard, click the Plus sign to display the Widget Bar and click the widget’s icon in the Widget Bar to open it. If you’re using a browser other than Safari, click the download link. When the widget download is complete, unarchive it and place it in /Library/Widgets/ in your home folder. show Dashboard, click the Plus sign to display the Widget Bar and click the widget’s icon in the Widget Bar to open it.”
