Dashboard Manager ReviewEats up CPU usage when disabling Dashboard - Version: 1.2, 4/24/2006 04:25PM PST

I notice that after opening dashboard it brings up telnet in Activity Monitor; when I disable Dashboard using this utility, telnet's CPU usage jumps to about 92% and my CPU temp stays around 171 F. If I quit the telnet process under Activity Monitor everything is quiet again. I never noticed this until I tried Dashboard Manager.

Dashboard Manager ReviewDock popping - Version: 1.2, 4/24/2006 02:43PM PST

This seems to work fine except for one annoying problem. I often store open e-mail messages in my dock (by clicking on the yellow minus sign on the message). When I use Dashboard Manager, it pops those e-mails back onto the screen, and I have to stash them away again in the dock. This is a minor problem because I don't use the Dashboard very often and usually leave it disabled.

Dashboard Manager ReviewWorks as advertised - Version: 1.1, 4/24/2006 05:49AM PST

I have little use for this app. Almost as little use as I do for Dashboard itself. Thus, I thought I'd try it, just to see if it works.

It does. It's a minimalistic interface, but who needs glitz when the sole purpose of the app is to start and stop Dashboard? From my tinkering (using Activity Monitor), it does this, and does it well. You start it, select the action you want it to take, it does that action and then quits. What else can one ask?

Five stars from me. Mac OS X 10.4.6, 1.67Ghz PowerBook, 1Gb RAM.

Dashboard Manager ReviewWorks fine for me! - Version: 1.1, 4/24/2006 04:22AM PST

Didn't try the supposed 1.0 bugged version, but version 1.1 works fine. Great app, shows the current status of the dashboard and allows you to disable, enable and restart it at the click of a mouse button. Well done.
