Product Description:

DashLite performs one of two actions:

Launches Dashboard if it has not been launched yet.
If a process name contains “DashboardClient�?, DashLite kills the Dock, which restarts. All Dashboard processes will be eliminated until next activation, thereby freeing system resources.

Therefore, DashLite is a process toggle for Dashboard, without the residual overhead when Dashboard is not in use. Since Dashboard will not be running in the background, you may notice that launching it via DashLite is slightly slower. The best application of DashLite is in conjunction with a keystroke application launcher such as QuickSilver. You could easily keep using F12 (be sure to uncheck Dashboard in the Keyboard & Mouse system preference panel), or any other key combo you can configure, to launch Dashboard with Quicksilver or similar.

Operating System Requirements:

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

Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

Additional Requirements:

Mac OS 10.4
Universal Binary

Seems to work. - Version: 1.0, 7/27/2006 11:48AM PST

It would appear that DashLite does what it says. There are no preferences, and no feeback when the application kills off the widgets. (That's not neccesarily a bad thing.)

No docs/readme inlcuded.

I'll keep it.
