To refresh a widget individually, click on the desired widget and hit “apple-R”.
Thanks Sarah…

Anyone experiencing full functioning widgets in Finder (Dashboard not activated!)? I do. One day was using widgets and repositioning them and suddenly found one shifted to the Finder and has there been ever since - more followed. And they’re fully functioning.
How did I do it? Don’t know, simply clicked on it, held mouse down and moved them. Can’t get rid of them now because even eliminating them from Dashboard still keeps them in the Finder (OS 10.5.1). Had to drag them to the bottom of the screen out of sight. Has anyone any suggestions or explanation. Even Apple Support can’t seem to help.

I accidentally stumbled on this little trick. While in the dashboard, instead of clicking the little plus in the bottom left corner to get the X for closing a widget, simply mouse over the widget you want to close while holding alt/option and the X will appear.
* note from James, This also works in Tiger, a classic!

Safari has a new feature, right next to the refresh button at the top is another button called “Open this page in Dashboard”. Simply go to website click ”Open this page in Dashboard” then select what you would like to view in Dashboard as a widget and voila! It’s a great new feature that is simple and elegant at creating those widgets you wish you always had!
