Not everything you do on your Mac requires a heavy-duty application. For those smaller tasks, OS X features Dashboard. Dashboard provides access to several fun and functional, mini applications called widgets. Dashboard includes widgets for some of your Mac applications, such as Contacts and Calendar, which allow you to access your contacts and view your events, respectively, without having to switch over to the full application. You can add more widgets to Dashboard and even create your own widgets.
Many widgets have options that let you select the information to display, such as the time in a chosen city in this World Clock widget
Contacts — This widget accesses the Contacts application, enabling you to look up a person's email address, phone number, and mailing address quickly. Just start typing a name in the search field, or use the arrow buttons to step through all entries.
Calendar — This widget allows you to view the current day and date in a small calendar, and will show any events you have added to Calendar. You can also view days and dates in the future and past. Just click the left or right arrow buttons to jump through the calendar by month.
Calculator — This electronic version works just like its real-world counterpart, letting you add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers without thought. You can enter numbers by clicking the buttons or pressing the numeric keys on your keyboard.
Dictionary — Get word definitions, synonyms, and antonyms for any English language word you type in the search field.
ESPN — For sports fans, this widget displays the latest scores and news for your favorite baseball, basketball, football, and hockey teams.
