I hate the order that my widgets appear in on my dock. I'd like to have things like clocks and weather and things I use often up at the top, but I can't seem to find any way to change the order. I've tried renaming the files for alphabetical order but it doesn't work when I do that. Is there any other way?
Is there any way to change the order of my widgets in the dock?
The Widget Dock doesn't have a feature to rearrange widgets.
One way to arrange widgets is to:
• Open the Widgets you use the most.
• Click on the Widget,
• Select Hide Widget
• Collapse the Widget Dock.
Only the Open Widgets will show
When you want to use the Widget,
• Click on the Widget in the Dock
Another way is to use the Heads Up Display
• Open and Hide the Widgets
When you want the Widgets
• Click on the Widget dock. (to get the menu)
• Click on Heads Up Display
I now have Vista and Vista uses Gadgets. So I can't give you the exact step to collapse the Dock.
When I had Widgets I used the # symbol in front of the name of the Widget I wanted at the top. You can use any of these symbols #$%%26amp;!, and the widgets will display in various order.
The only trouble in alphabetizing or using numbers or symbols, is that you are changing the name of the Widget. The Dock will treat it as a new Widget.
This may cause you to lose the Preferences and Data. Some Widgets will create a new data folder. Changing the Name will also effect update notification.
Some Widget store data In a Widget Data directory.
• Click on My Computer
To get to that area, enter the following path:
• C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Yahoo\Widget Engine\Widget Data
You can delete the Widgets' data folders that aren't being used.
Username is usually yourname.
