This software provides a utility script for managing and controlling the dashboard and widgets. With features to start, stop, and kill the dashboard, users can easily manage the display of information.
Dashboard is an innovative feature introduced by Apple in their Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) operating system. While undoubtedly useful, it has been revealed to consume a significant amount of memory. To address this problem, the Dashboard Utility Script was created.
This script includes two small programs. The first is called Dashboard Start - Stop and is used exclusively to release the memory occupied by the widgets. The second program is called Dashboard Killer, and in theory, it completely inhibits the use of Dashboard. This can be helpful for those who do not use Dashboard often and wish to free up resources.
However, it's worth noting that the Dashboard Killer script is not always foolproof. Sometimes, Dashboard may start without loading any widgets into memory. In such cases, users can easily restart the Dashboard using the Dashboard Start - Stop script.
Overall, the Dashboard Utility Script is an essential tool for those who use Dashboard frequently and need to optimize their Mac's memory usage.
