Is there a setting to allow this? I've always wanted to be able to do this, and now that Vista has widgets, we need to up the ante to continue to make the sorry PCers feel even worse about themselves!

I'm using 10.4 Tiger and it works with all my widgets. Make sure that you are dragging a new widget out of the tray at the bottom of the dashboard. Don't try to drag the actual widget itself that is already on your dashbaord. Use the icon in the tray :) Good Luck What version of OS X are you using?

Then just remove it off your dashboard like you normally would. (ie. the ' ' in the bottom left, then the 'X' on the widget. I guess I should have added that to Marc's instructions :) Just open your dashboard with the F12 key (or however you normally open it) and it will move off your desktop and into your dashboard.

I couldn't find a way to put them under stuff. <a href="http://amnesty.mesadynamics.com/WidgetBrowser.html" rel="nofollow">Amnesty</a> looks really cool though. Seems like a more permanent way to put widgets on the desktop with a whole lot more options. Do you use it Jeff? Jeff, as far as I know the widgets stay on top of of the programs.
