Although some functions are missing from your features, the following
application might be good.

Yes I know. I think dashboard will just crop the browser window though.
I was thinking more of a cross platform application, which supports the
swf format.

Features of such an application would be:

- Starts in the background when you boot the computer
- You could assign a keyboard shortcut to show/hide widgets
- You can easly install widgets by adding swf files to a particular
folder
- you would have access to some of the operating system APIs (e.g. show
battery level)

Basically all features of the yahoo widget application + swf support.
Maybe Yahoo could just add swf support. Or Adobe could add a "widget
mode" in Apollo...

Flash dashboard widgets for OSX will be easy enough once Leopard comes
out, thanks to it's clip to widget feature, which basically lets you
make a widget from a section of a webpage.

The way I understood it, dashboard widgets atm are just mostly html and
javascript? This would imply that you can use swfs in your widgets
now... (I could be wrong, havent done extensive research).
