Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I installed the TiVo widget and it's very pretty. I'm not sure it's useful, but it's certainly pretty.

Okay -- more widgeting -- I can run the TiVo widget, but how do I get it to appear in the Widget Bar? The first couple I downloaded from the Apple site appeared there automatically, but not the TiVo one or the last one I grabbed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ya gotta put them in the right directory. Either ~/Library/Widgets or /Library/Widgets.
eta: create your own widgets: [link]
It's easy! Just a little HTML, CSS and JavaScript.... (other languages can be used too).

Spotlight is so confusing -- when I did the search, it made it look like the widgets were in the Application folder, which they patently were not.
Got them in the widget bar now, thanks.

When you say Widget Bar, is there an acutal "bar" somewhere listing the widgets. Because all I have seen is the screen that grays out everything else and pops up all my Widgets.
Also, I've just been dropping my widgets into the applications folder, running them once, and then they forever after appear with all my other widgets when I bring up the Widget screen.

Yes. Call up the widgets, then hit the '+' icon on the bottom left of your screen.

Most widgets install themselves in the correct place when you double-click them. Some don't, and need to be manually put in the ~/Library/Widgets folder (or /Library/Widgets).

Got it - i have seen that. For some reason, I was thinking there might have been a little bar that would sit somewhere on my screen at all times.
I'm having so much fun with the Widgets. I'm about to track a package right now. My dad, who is freakishly obsessed with snow in the mountains where he lives, will LOVE the radar widget.

Widgets are a secret organization, much like the Freemasons, that have existed for thousands of years. Only now have they chosen to reveal themselves.
