Talk:Dashboard (macOS)

message: It's unclear to me what happens when you press F12.  Do all of your accessories all pop up, or can you pick which one you want to use right now? In older terminology, you would build an application out of "widgets", but here, widgets seem to be what you end up with at the end of the construction process.  Is this usage accurate? -- Beland 01:47, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I've got a newly installed copy of Tiger and F12 absolutely does *not* pop up Dashboard.  I have to press Fn + F12 to get it to pop up. Richard W.M. Jones 19:39, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I can confirm this. I have an iBook G3 (US keyboard) and I have to press fn+F12 to bring up Dashboard. For this reason I have assigned F8 for this. - Thanks, Hoshie |  05:43, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

message: In the first paragraph, it ends with being "a total rip off of Konfabulator". Isn't that sentence a little immature (no offense on the person who wrote that sentence)? Try to change the phrase and give evidence on why that is so. Sr13 06:40, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Dashboard Icon.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:56, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Should the section Widgets on the desktop be removed?  It seems to be more of a how-to than an encyclopedia section.  Perhaps it would be best to discuss that software exists to allow this to happen, but not discuss the specifics.
: I don't think it is encyclopedic or notable either. Since the vast majority of people who use dashboard are not going to do this, I don't think it should be brought up at all. 63.80.51.227 (talk) 04:46, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I added a disambiguation tag to this article, but I really think it should be renamed. "Dashboard (software)" is a category that encompases many products from many companies. The situation is as if "Facial tissue" were a redirect to Kleenex! Ningauble (talk) 15:45, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with this, I think it needs to be something like Dashboard (Macintosh Software).  Many other software 'dashboards' exist, its quite a generic term.  Jwoodger (talk) 06:04, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Title Disambiguation 

message: All the content of this section was in "Graphics" which is an obvious nonsense. Anyway, the content of the new section, in my opinion, is nonsensical per se, and deserves deletion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.65.236.40 (talk) 14:56, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
