Handpicked Software

With Dashboard KickStart (formerly Dashboard Start), you’ll always have the Dashboard ready to use the first time you want. Without it you’ll have to wait for a complete Dashboard start-up sequence as soon as you are ready use it for a first time, making its quick accessibility rather useless.

This application runs in the background and reacts to the starting or re-starting of the Dock and to waking up from sleep mode. When that happens it initiates the starting of the Dashboard.

What’s New:
Version 2.3:

• Added Leopard Compatibility, please note that the previous ‘Dashboard effect’ has been extended with a quick ‘Exposé effect’ in order to make it work in OS X 10.5 Leopard.
• Graphics updated for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
• Under Leopard the settings window will no longer display the number of widgets currently active.
