How to put widgets from Dashboard on the desktop

Such a wonderful thing as the Dashboard is no longer used by the owners of Mac actively - in Lion and Mountain Lion, she went to the margins of history. But, nevertheless, the Dashboard does not disappear permanently from the operating system. And it can be quite trivial kastomizovat. For example, make widgets on the desktop and fix them as permanent informers.

To put widgets from Dashboard on the desktop, you must first log in to the Dashboard developer mode. To do this, Open the Terminal.app and type the following command:

defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES

Then go to System Preferences and select Mission Control. In this menu, uncheck the "Show Dashboard as a space". After that exit from your account and sign in again for the changes to take effect.

Next, a simple motion is transferred from the Dashboard widgets on the desktop. Press F4, to activate the Dashboard, we click and hold the mouse button on the widget, and then press F4 again and place the widget on the desktop.

The process of removing the widget from the desktop is made up to the contrary. Pinch-click the widget, and then press F4, and leave it in the Dashboard.

Once you splash around with the widgets on your desktop Dashboard developer mode can be turned off. In principle, there is no need, but if someone wants to definitely turn off, then open Terminal.app again and put this out there the following command:

defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode NO

That's all. I hope the idea to place widgets on the desktop you will find plenty of interesting and you play around.
