Product Description:

With Dashboard KickStart, you'll always have the Dashboard ready to use the first time you want. Without it you'll have to wait for a complete Dashboard start-up sequence as soon as you are ready use it for a first time, making its quick accessibility rather useless.

This application runs in the background and reacts to the starting or re-starting of the Dock and waking from sleep mode. When that happens it initiates the starting of the Dashboard.

What's new in this version:

  • Added 64-bit support
  • Further reduced processor usage
  • Fixes to the Japanese Localization

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel

Dashboard KickStart Troubleshooting ReportI can't turn off activate after sleep... - Version: 3.0, 1/26/2009 09:19PM PST

So now with 3.0, I can't turn off the activate after sleep. I turn it off, but the next time I open Kickstart it's selected again. And I really hate having everything jumping all over the place after a simple awakening.
