You will put the widget in the /Library/Widget folder. I don't have a
folder in my user home folder so, not sure if you can create one there
and have the os pick that up. I need to play with the widgets more I
guess. Didn't find them all that interesting. grin

Okay, when I was on the dashboard the weather widget got selected
and when I did that VoiceOver said bring widget to front. The new
widget isn't yet available to select on the dashboard so far as I
know. If I can copy it to the dashboard or somehow alias it that
might work. It was downloaded tonight and the zip file was opened
up so I have the zip file and the widget sitting on my desktop now.

Ah, I see what you've done. I did the exact same thing. What you
need to do is press controll, voiceOver, shift and f2. This selects
what is usually called window choozer but renamed to wigit choozer
in the dashboard. so move down to the one you want and select it.
Speaking of wigits, how do you actually remove them if your sick of
them?

Once a widget gets downloaded, how is it moved onto the dashboard
so it
can be selected? I have a few on the dashboard and downloaded the
bbc
widget but when I do f12 cn-op-f2 cn-op-f2 that's not one that's yet
available to be selected yet.
