Zdnet key takeaways

• If you have refused to use the widget, Macos Tahoe may change your brain.
• Thanks to the liquid glass, the widget is again sexy.
• Only add the widget you need.

Widgets are not absolutely divisive subjects in Tech-Spare, but for some, they are simply a waste of time. For others, however, they are important for creating a skilled experience.

Me? I live in the middle of the spectrum where they are not just a factor in my life.

Mcos Taho has changed the opinion, and now I see desktop widgets what they are … small equipment that can make life a little easier.

My first experience with widget

The first time I noticed that widgets were around 2008, when KDE developers introduced him to the world of open-source desktop. Subsequently, he was quite underdeveloped, but still interesting. There were widgets for things like watches, calculators, notes and folders.

Unfortunately, I never really got a widget, so no one found his way for his desktop. It was not for the lack of trying, because I gave it my best. But I like a clean, minimum desktop. I am never doing the same clicking icon on my desktop because I think it doesn’t look so good. I have seen others with so many desktop icons that I am not sure how they find anything.

Furthermore, it is not what is a dock/panel?

To date, my desktop and home screen (regardless of OS) have always followed the same idea: the cleaner is better. I do not want things to be on the way, which causes chaos, or my idea should be stopped.

Till last week.

what changed?

What did Mcos Taho and Liquid Glass change. As soon as my MacBook Pro was upgraded to Taho, I immediately realized that the UI was so beautiful that it was probably the time to detect aspects that I had left for so long.

One of the first things I had checked was widgets, and, for my surprise, I found him adequately elegant to stay on my desktop.

I only add two widgets: a clock and an event widget. Secondly I added them and saw how they looked with liquid glass UI, and I was sold.

I know, I know … it looks shallow that you accept it or allow something to see and feel to reject. For me, however, beauty plays an important role in my desktop layout. Given that I stare at my desktop day by day, I do not want him to stare at an ugly UI. Thanks to the liquid glass, nothing is ugly about MacoS, and nothing, I mean nothing. The liquid glass is gorgeous, and it translates into a highly attractive widget.

For me the real sales point was the transparency of the widows. I can add widgets and, thanks to the glassy look, I get both the best of the world: elegant and functional.

When I added two widgets to my Macos desktop, I assumed that I would leave them there for a few hours (for test purposes) and then remove them almost immediately after. The reality is that they are still there.

Why?

Once the liquid glass gave me the look that I wanted, I could use the widgets in Bayana, and I was really surprised how well they served me.

Suddenly, I could tell the time on my laptop, first without the need to donate my glasses, and I could see what is next to my day without opening the calendar. Also, I could first check the weather without grabbing my phone or opening a webpage.

Don’t misunderstand me, I am not ready to fill my display with widget, because it will probably never happen. I have scrolled through each desktop widget introduced by Macos (and apps I installed by me) and found that most of them would not help me. As far as my Linux desktop is concerned, the cosmic widgets of System76 (not yet not yet) do not offer, so I will not use them until the OS allows.

The same thing is correct for KDE Plasma Widget facility: I am not going to load the display with the widget, just for the kick. To add a widget for me, it will have to have a positive impact on my day-to-day activities; Otherwise, it is just taking a precious place.

Widget i want to see

If I had my own way, we would have widows for the following:

This is too much of my widget needs. I am sure if I have dug a deep, then I will get more widgets, but as it stands, this is the case.

Although my widget use is minimal, I am glad that the liquid glass of MacoS has seen me light, because the widget I now is quite a job.

Adding a widget to Macos

For those who do not know, it is easy to add a widget to McOS. To do this, right-click on the Macos desktop (or two-finger tap), select the edit widget, and then pull and drop the widgets you want to live on your desktop. Once you do this, close the edit widget window, and you can right-click one of the widgets (or two-u-finger taps) and edit it as required.

You can also adjust the widget style within the system settings> appearance> “icon and widget style.” I have my set for a clear icon style and a pink folder color.

If you are looking to make Macos a little more efficient, I would advise you to give you excessive advice and try a desktop widget. You will not regret jumping on this particular bandwagan.
