How much would it be to replace a dashboard on a car?
Or would it be more convientient to buy a new car?

Dashboard is not a program, it is a part of the Dock, as is Exposé.

Richard,

Dashboard is a program in Mac OS X Tiger. It is activated with F12 (by default) and displays Widgets.

Dear Brian,
I have taken a picture of my Dashboard (after majorly tidying it up)
it is currently uploading to this adress:

By the time you read this it should have finished uploading. Please check it out and tell me what you think!

Darn made a mistake, the “#” means the program will ignore that text line when it reads it. So my second set of commands will of course be ignored. But you get the picture.

Good luck all

To configure Timed ScreenShot, unzip and move the folder to your Applications folder. Open “Timed Screenshot Config” in Text edit and change what you see to something like this.

#
# Interval in seconds:
interval=60
#
# Name of destination folder:
# Can be the name of an alias
destination=Screenshots
#
# Quality in %
quality=75
#
interval=60
destination=Screenshots
quality=50%

Change the seconds to suit what you think will work

If you do the destination like what I have a new folder called “Screenshots” will appear in your “TimedScreenShot” folder and contain the timed shots according to date and time.

You can adjust the jpeg quality down considerably to reduce the file size as with this program it’s rather easy to create multiple gigabytes of files.

Force Quit the program in Activity Monitor.

Select the Screenshot folder and use the Finders “Create Archive” under the File menu to Zip it up.

Perhaps Brian will tell us what his eMail limit is, most likely folks will have to host the zip themselves and provide a email link.

I think folks can certainly go nuts here, I’m only submitting my image above.
