For those of us who have macs over pc's (I have both mac and pc) we all know about the crazy cool widgets you can have. I just thought of the idea of having a KICentral Widget. Just wondering what your guys thoughts and input where on this subject.

Honest question -- what exactly is a widget?

Dashboard is an application for Apple's Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger and Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard operating systems, used for hosting mini-applications known as widgets. It is a semi-transparent layer that is invisible to the user unless activated by clicking an icon on the Dock or pressing a hotkey, which can be set to the user's preference.

When Dashboard is activated, the user's desktop is dimmed and widgets appear in the foreground. Like application windows, they can be moved around, rearranged, deleted, and recreated (so that more than one of the same Widget is open at the same time, possibly with different settings). New widgets can be opened, via an icon bar on the bottom of the layer, by dragging a widget icon out into the layer. After loading, the widget is ready for use.

My dashboard:

If you've got Leopard, you could just make a webclip of the main page's recent topics list. It's handy.

I gots teh Tiger, No 1337 webclips for me!

You could create it into a ticker similar to a espn sports score ticker showing the most recent news etc. Just and idea that I personally think would be really cool!

Oh and Gordon Bombay, where did you get that Kings Island countdown widget thats nifty!

iChase was nice enough to make one available for download here:
