  "simple, to the point, and free"

  February 10, 2011  |   By zug--2008

  Version: Dashboard Manager 1.2

  Pros

  does just what it claims to do, and prevents inadvertant sapping of computing power.

  Cons

  a bit awkward to open it up each time you want to use it. a simple addition of a keystroke or a menu icon for one step usage might make it perfect.

  "Eats up CPU usage when disabling Dashboard"

  April 24, 2006  |   By bill calhoun

  Version: Dashboard Manager 1.2

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
  I notice that after opening dashboard it brings up telnet in Activity Monitor; when I disable Dashboard using this utility, telnet's CPU usage jumps to about 92% and my CPU temp stays around 171 F. If I quit the telnet process under Activity Monitor everything is quiet again. I never noticed this until I tried Dashboard Manager.

  "Dock popping"

  April 24, 2006  |   By augustberkshire

  Version: Dashboard Manager 1.2

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
  This seems to work fine except for one annoying problem. I often store open e-mail messages in my dock (by clicking on the yellow minus sign on the message). When I use Dashboard Manager, it pops those e-mails back onto the screen, and I have to stash them away again in the dock. This is a minor problem because I don't use the Dashboard very often and usually leave it disabled.
