As simple as that. No configuration required. Now to have widgets on your desktop, click on the Widget Runner icon on the Applications folder. You will notice that no window pops up. Now you have a widget created right on your desktop! You can also choose to position these widgets to be on Top of all Windows, Normal or only on the Desktop.
The Desktop position, on the other hand, restricts the normal behaviour and you can see the widget only when you turn to the desktop, that is when all the windows are hidden or minimized.
For the most part, it works. Widget Runner acts like any other application, so you do need to add the application to the Login items list to make sure it loads on every machine startup. It has it few quirks here and there.
If you have not updated your Mac with Monterey yet, refer to this guide. You are missing a hell lot. Do you know the number of customizations you can achieve with your widgets? Has anyone checked out the third-party widgets yet? I know you might complain about putting too much effort into checking your battery percentage on Mac after the update; guess what, there is a widget for that too. Here are some of the best widgets for macOS Monterey I found helpful and easy to work with.
Begin by Zoho is a must-have CRM for maximum results with minimal effort. With the new iOS update, Zoho went ahead and designed Begin, especially for Monterey, to improve the user experience for its users.
From managing contacts to tracking your activities such as tasks, planning, scheduling, and executing, Begin covers most of it. The widget lets you view tasks, calls, or events according to your preference and keep it in your notifications. I prefer having a CRM over having separate widgets for tasks, to-dos, calls, etc. A must-have widget for everyone, Screen Time lets you monitor your screen time on individual apps, your total screen time, etc.
I like the interface; all the sizes are visually appealing. For instance, the small one shows a line graph of total hours spent, the medium shows a line graph and ads, whereas the large one further breaks them down into categories.
This is hands-down the best widget to monitor your screen time and check your on-screen time activity. A third-party app, this widget keeps track of your hydration and shows the amount of water you have consumed throughout the day. This widget comes with a couple of visual representations. Thus, it has different visuals set to curb your thirst pun intended! It is available in all small, medium, and large representations and each of these variations are very creative.
Install it today and contribute your share towards healthy living. It came as a shock to most users that Apple did not develop a battery widget for Mac when it is available for iPhones. You can use Smart Stacks or create your own widget stacks.
