Tip: A widget called a Smart Stack (one that has dots next to it) is a set of several widgets that uses information such as the time, your location, and activity to display the most relevant widget at the appropriate time in your day. You can swipe through a Smart Stack to see the widgets it contains. The Mac Dashboard provides an easy way to see and use widgets, mini-applications that grab specific information from the Internet or help with narrow but useful tasks. The typical Dashboard arrangement includes a calendar, a clock, a translator, a flight tracker, weather, and more. You can move widgets around, add new ones, and drop old.
