Mac OS-X Dashboard Widgets

» ColorBrowser

ColorBrowser is an OSX Dashboard Widget I designed & developed for myself and other web designers. It provides a simple interface for browsing, selecting, and experimenting with color swatches in a free-form environment. Key features include:

Web-Safe and Non-Web-Safe palettes
Web-Safe warning indicator and Conversion
Select colors by swatch or hexadecimal code
Highlight Swatches in either palette for easy reference
Store selections in a "My Swatches Palette"
3-digit or 6-digit hexadecimal notation
1-Click Copying of hexadecimal notation to clipboard
Small screen footprint when not in use

» StickyPad

StickyPad provides a one-click way to launch the system "Stickies" widgets instead of using the widget launcher bar.

I really like Apple's "Stickies" widget, but the default method of launching a new sticky from the widget bar largely defeats its utility. I wanted a way to quickly and easily launch a new sticky note so that I could use it to quickly jot down a note.

Before use, stickyPad must install a copy of the system Stickies widget in your user library (~/Library/Widgets/). You can do this manually, or let stickyPad handle it for you by clicking on the Install button on the back. StickyPad will also remove this copy if you wish to un-install it. Neither action will affect the original location of the Stickies widget.
