I was wondering if anyone has information on when the Dashboard SDK will be released? I read in the Apple's Dev area that it's available as pre-release software (but expensive to join that Dev community).

Will Dashboard SDK be released the same time as Tiger, before or after..?

Thanks in advance.

1.) It won't work in Panther because it's not downloadable (Dashboard that is, not the SDK). It is built into Tiger (as a new feature, along with Automator etc.)

2.) That sucks :(, I was hoping to grab some tutorials to make my own (I did find Apple's single tutorial, but I guess that's all we get).

1. You actually can run Dashboard widgets in 10.3, but you need Safari 1.3 Developer Preview.

2. Apple will release documentation on how to release dashboard widgets to the public when Tiger is released. Currently though, you have be a paying member of Apple Developer Connection. There is some documentation already in Xcode 2.0 about the matter, so it's not like the public will never get the chance to create dashboard widgets.

You can also have a look here: The Dashboarder.

I know it's not exactly what you were looking for, but you can at least have a look at what others developers are doing... and maybe, some clue to how to create widgets...

Actually that does help, thanks :)

jagedEdge, you're right - it's just a matter of time.

    • Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is currently $109.99 on Amazon, down from its original $164.99 list price. That's 33% off and $55 saved on this premium aluminum mid-tower case with a modular design. If you're upgrading your PC case and want something that doesn't force you into a rigid layout, the MasterFrame 600 is worth a look. The case is built around the Cooler Master's FreeForm 2.0 platform, which lets you reconfigure the internal structure according to your hardware. Magnetic side panels allow for straightforward adjustments, and the case supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX motherboards without compromise. There's also generous cooling headroom. Four pre-installed PWM fans handle airflow out of the box. GPU clearance goes up to 410mm, and the case supports radiators up to 420mm with room for three simultaneously. Truth be told, this might not be the prettiest case on the market, but it’s highly functional. The aluminum construction keeps the whole thing lightweight despite its size, and the finish looks noticeably better than the plastic mid-towers competing at this price point. If you want a serious, flexible case that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics like RGB lighting, the MasterFrame 600 delivers at a reasonable price.

      Your daily driver? Weird, seeing that you don't seem to understand how your own browser downloads and installs its updates. What you posted earlier is factually incorrect...
