Editing Dashboard (macOS) (section)

==Widget functions and capabilities==
Dashboard widgets, like web pages, are capable of many different things, including of performing tasks that would be complicated for the user to access manually.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.computerworld.com/article/3178623/apple-mac/how-the-macos-dashboard-can-actually-help-you-be-productive.html|title=How the macOS Dashboard can actually help you be productive|last=Evans|first=Jonny|work=Computerworld|access-date=2018-10-04|language=en|archive-date=October 4, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181004191509/https://www.computerworld.com/article/3178623/apple-mac/how-the-macos-dashboard-can-actually-help-you-be-productive.html|url-status=live}}</ref> One example is the [[Google]] Search widget, which simply opens up the user's [[web browser]] and performs a Google search. Other widgets, like Wikipedia, grab the contents of web pages and display them within Dashboard. Some widgets can also serve as games, using [[Adobe Flash]] (or another multimedia authoring program) to create games just as if they were in a web browser. It is also possible for Mac users to create their own widgets using built-in software.
