DashSaver CommentaryFor me, its useless - Version: 1.2, 3/20/2007 09:15AM PST

I really like the idea of DashSaver, but I have and I'm surely not alone, a problem with the Notes. I keep personal Notes on the Dashboard, and so I would prefer to create a special Dashboard just for the screensaver, so that I just have maybe my contactlist, a Clock, Mails, the iTunes title and so on as screensafer, and as Dashboard my personal notes...

I would be really happy, if you could add these things to the program...

And... Sorry for my bad English, I'm not a native speaker...

DashSaver ReviewGreat idea, but what about burn-in? - Version: 1.2, 1/19/2007 02:31PM PST

I can't believe Apple haven't come up with this. I find widgets useless for the most part - nothing but eye candy. However this app puts some function back into the design in a way that makes it more valuable. Only question I have is if the screensaver is static, won't this create burn-in on the computer monitor? I mean, the whole idea of a screen saver is to, well, save the screen. Not sure how this program does that if the widgets are stationary.
