Widgets are really working well in Leopard and SnowLeopard. I have checked out
ESPN and have it set up for football, so I can keep track of my Colts, I have
been able to look at a word in dictionary and the list goes on.
Remember to close your widgets when you are done with them, in other words,
don't leave a bunch of them open at one time, because they take system
resources.
You can bring up a list of commands by pressing, VO keys-h twice. Here are
some commands I think you will find helpful.
To Select a Widget
VO keys-f2 twice for the window chooser and arrow down to the widget bar.
Press VO keys-spacebar and arrow down through your list of widgets. To choose
the one you want press, VO keys-spacebar.
To close a widget, Vo keys-command-f2 while you are on the widget, or, the name
of the widget and Voiceover will tell you to press return to close the widget.
*** When you set up your weather widget for your area, if you close it, you
will lose your settings.
If you want to change the behavior of your widget, for instance in the ESPN
widget if you want to change from football to basketball, just go to the info
button, click on it and you will find a popup button which you can use to
change sports.
Here is the way to find new widgets, now over three thousand, news, weather,
sports and so much more.
From the widget bar, choose widgets and press VO keys-Spacebar. In this list
you can VO keys-right and left arrow through your listed widgets and uncheck
them to disable them. Voiceover keys-shift-end to the end of the list and then
VO keys, left arrow back a couple of times to more widgets and press VO
keys-spacebar and go widget hunting. Not all of them will work because of
there graphic nature, however, you will find that a good number of them will.
