How to Add Widgets to Your Mac Dashboard

If you want to quickly check a movie time or figure out which jacket you should wear before leaving for work, then Mac's dashboard could be your most useful program. The dashboard allows you to install thousands of widgets, each with a singular and focused purpose. It's easy to choose the widgets you want and create a dashboard that works more efficiently.

Instructions

1. Open your computer's dashboard. If you do not have the logo on your dock, search for it with Spotlight, using the magnifying glass icon located in the upper-right corner of the screen.

2. Click the "+" button in the bottom-left corner of the screen. The list of widgets will scroll onto the bottom of the page.

3. Choose "Widgets." The Icon looks like the dashboard logo with gears behind it. A prompt will open that will allow you to choose which widgets appear on the widget list.

4. Click "More Widgets..." to connect to the Apple widget store website. You can search for widgets and download them onto your dashboard.
