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 Leopard Compatibility, please note that the previous 'Dashboard effect' has been extended with a quick 'Exposé effect' in order to make it work in OS X 10.5 Leopard.
Graphics updated for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
Under Leopard the settings window will no longer display the number of widgets currently active.

I 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.

Works great and even quicker! - Version: 3.0, 12/28/2008 05:31PM PST
