===New applications in Tiger=== * '''[[Dashboard (macOS)|Dashboard]]''' β The Dashboard is a new mini-applications layer based on [[HTML]], [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]], and [[JavaScript]], which returns the [[desk accessories]] concept to Mac OS. These accessories are known as [[Graphical widget|widgets]]. It comes with several widgets such as Weather, World Clock, Unit Converter, Dictionary/[[Thesaurus]], and others ([[Dashboard (Mac OS)#Included widgets|full list]]). More are available to download for free online. Its similarity to the [[Konfabulator]] application caused some criticism.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/macosx-10-4.ars/17|title=Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger|page=17|author=John Siracusa|date=April 28, 2005|access-date=June 11, 2006|archive-date=May 26, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070526071907/http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/macosx-10-4.ars/17|url-status=live}}</ref> * [[Automator (software)|'''Automator''']] β Automator uses workflows to process repetitive tasks automatically * '''[[Grapher]]''' β Grapher is a new application capable of creating 2D and 3D graphs similar to those of [[NuCalc|Graphing Calculator]]. * [[Dictionary (software)|'''Dictionary''']] β A dictionary and thesaurus program that uses the [[New Oxford American Dictionary]]. It has a fast GUI for displaying the Dictionary, and allows the user to search the dictionary with Spotlight, to print definitions, and to copy and paste text into documents. Dictionary also provides a Dictionary service in the Application menu, and Cocoa and [[WebKit]] provide a global keyboard shortcut (ctrl-β-D by default) for all applications that display text with them. Its use was furthered in Mac OS X Leopard by providing definitions from [[Wikipedia]]. The Dictionary application is a more feature-filled version of the Dictionary widget. * '''[[Quartz Composer]]''' β Quartz Composer is a development tool for processing and rendering graphical data. * [[Apple Developer Tools#Audio Unit Lab|'''AU Lab''']] β AU Lab is a developer application for testing and mixing [[Audio Units]].
