This month has seen many interesting developments for Mac-based musicians. But while the iPhone is picky about the Widgets it will run, your Mac is open to a world of musically-related Widget curiosities. To begin your journey, visit Übersicht’s website, then download, unzip, and install the app.Īfter launching the app, you will find it resides in the Mac’s menubar on the top-right of your screen along with the clock, calendar, and other menubar apps.Widgets are everywhere, from the new iPhone to Macs running OS X Tiger. If you’d like to test the water, let’s continue. If you set your widget to stay at “position 10 pixels from the right edge of the screen,” it will stay there no matter how large the display is. And if you are familiar with HTML and Javascript, you can easily build your own widgets to tailor your specific needs or tweak the existing ones.Īnother advantage of Übersicht over its alternatives is that your widget’s position won’t break when you plug in a differently-sized display thanks to CSS positioning.

Übersicht is an app that lets you build custom widgets to embed on your desktop and display. With the help of Übersicht, you can add useful widgets to display virtually anything that you’d like, including the weather, to-dos, appointments, and more.

Being that you are a Mac user, the wallpaper is not the only thing that you can adjust. One area that we can personalize in our computer is the desktop. We buy phone cases, change the computer wallpaper, make a playlist, add stickers, etc.
