Thanks, I tried and things went well until I tried pasting into the
/Library/Widgets folder. Paste was grayed out. To confirm I actually had
something to copy, I checked the contents of the clipboard and the widget
showed up on that clipboard.

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.
