Widgets

Widgets are special dock items that go beyond app shortcuts. They add functionality like clocks, file shelves, URL bookmarks, and more directly into your dock.

Adding a widget

1. Open the management window → select a dock → Items tab

2. Click Add Widget

3. Choose a widget from the widget picker

Each widget has its own settings — click the gear icon on a widget in the Items tab to configure it.

Configuring widgets

Open the management window → select a dock → Items tab. Click the gear icon beside a widget to open its settings.
