Add a Widget to the Dashboard
The Dashboard is an OS X application that you use to display widgets. You can customize the Dashboard to include any widgets that you find useful or informative. A widget is a mini-application, particularly one designed to perform a single task, such as displaying the weather, showing stock data, or providing sports scores. OS X comes with 16 widgets, which include a clock, a calculator, a tile game, and a unit converter. There are also many widgets available online.
