OK, you need to put the file in your home directory/library/widgets

So the exact path is

~/Library/Widgets

Just pop it in there, then reopen your dashboard, and you should see it.

  Well, I found a system monitor and downloaded it. I unzipped it and now have 
a widget file... but where do I paste it for dashboard to find it? I hoped to 
find a dashboard folder somewhere, but could not.

    I like Stocks, Weather, and Translator. The calendar and iTunes widgets are 
also handy.

      I don't use it, because I just open spotlight or my applications folder 
and open what I want. Are there dashboard widgets that people find helpful? I 
suppose a weather and system monitor could be handy...

        Hello,

        I’m not sure if I was just incredibly ignorant of the fact, but 
dashboard is totally accessible. By totally accessible, I mean you can pick the 
various widgets you want to interact with using VO.
        By pressing VO+F2 twice, just like you were going into window chooser, 
it brings up a dashboard menu, allowing you to pick any widget currently 
installed on your system.
        I just thought folks would find that info useful, seeing as when I was 
actually on a call with apple accessibility trying to find out that info, I 
stumbled onto it myself.
