As the titled suggests, two nights ago I had some time to kick around and thought I'd whip up a dashboard widget for OS X. Yes I know that there's like a grand total of five people here who use/likes Macs but for those select few, I thought you might enjoy this:



Tested on Mac OS X 10.6.8, 10.8.4 and 10.9.4 but should be compatible with OS X 10.5+ might work on 10.4 though don't take my word on it.

There are two of them which you can download from here. One is called Bg and the other Sm standing for Big and Small respectively. Other than the sizes they are identical so which one you choose depends on your preference/screen size.

Edit: Windows Version now available

I've now created a Windows version (Thanks to Toothless123 for the idea and testing it) that works on windows vista and 7. If your using Windows 8 you'll need to install the windows sidebar feature for this to work because Microsoft removed it in 8 and 8.1

For Windows Vista and 7 users:
Download the file from here. Once you have it on your computer it should recognize it as a .gadget file and allow to to double click it and install. After installing if it doesn't show up on the desktop just right click anywhere on the desktop and go to gadgets. You should see Dragons2DVDCount in the gallery.

For Windows 8 and 8.1 users:
Because Microsoft removed the windows gadget sidebar in 8 and 8.1 your going to have to re-install it before installing the DVD Countdown gadget.
Again if you have any problems feel free to ask.

Can you make it available for Windows, too?

I just found it under the add widgets thingy... the plus sign... I'm not good at explanations.
Basically where you add new stuff, it's there somewhere.
idiot alert I'm an idiot

I might be the only Mac user here who can't seem to figure out how to get the widget to work... but I'm looking at Apple's pg about it and thinking about flying on a certain dragon

Once you click Install, your new widget appears in Dashboard in temporary "test drive" mode, allowing you to play around with it before deciding whether you want to keep it or not. While in "test drive

So- once I click install I'm watching Hiccup and Toothless' first flight together

That would be awesome...
filling your dashboard up with Hiccup and Toothless (since I never look at dashboard 'cause I find it useless)
