According to Apple, widgets are “mini-applications that let you perform common tasks and provide you with fast access to information.” The cool thing for web developers and designers is that widgets are at their heart just web pages, bundled in a specific way. So, if you can make a useful web page, you can probably make a useful widget! All you need is a little information about their structure.

Widget Manager is a Preference Pane for OSX 10.4 that allows you to inspect, remove, and disable Dashboard Widgets. Widget Manager is a convenient way to manage all the Widgets on your system, including the standard Apple Widgets. Since it handles removing the .wdgt file as well as restarting Dashboard, Widget Manager eliminates Dashboard display issues when you remove a Widget by hand, and is also a great defense against potentially harmful Widgets.
