Does NOT work under Leopard! - Version: 1.0, 11/30/2007 08:42AM PST

I have been using this for a long time under Tiger and found it very useful, but under Leopard it no longer works.

Looking forward to seeing an update.

Fills a definite need, and goes about it exactly the right way, by initiating Dashboard and then quitting itself - as opposed to a similarly-named application which remains active, wasting CPU cycles.

Kudos on a job PERFECTLY done...
