Yes, the widgets will float above everything else. That’s really annoying. So far, there’s no free fix that I could find. But if you use Amnesty Singles (not free), the widgets will be transformed into a stand alone application and will behave like one.

I assume then that the only way this will work is with the widgets floating above everything else? The idea is wonderful but if there’s no fix for the float, it’s not really functional.

There is also a DevMode widget to easily enable Developer’s Mode http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/devmodewidget.html

Same here, I hate that they MUST float above all else, this is a true disappointment for me…

My only problem is that the widgets are on top of all apps on the dashboard now. How can I keep the Widgets at the desktop level and have apps stay on top of them on the desktop?

I use an app called Hoverdash that allows you to choose one or more widgets to leave open on the desktop.

True Mac users will never use the terminal, it just defeats the purpose of an out-of-the-box machine, you know?

ok sarcasm aside, can we have an article about rainmeter?
