What dashboard manager are you talking about? I've never seen anything like that. I just had a sighted friend look on his mac at dashboard using 10.9 and he said the only thing on the screen were the widgets and a plus or minus to add or delete them. Just curious. Jim On Feb 27, 2014,

Hmm interesting. I gotta play around with Dashboard. Did you get OBT2 working on Libre? Libre works fine for me but I can't seem to get the extention to install. Something you have to do to Java. If anyone have a current info how a VO user interact with dashboard, I would very mu

I just tried the widget using VO F2 twice, and that brought up window chooser. What advantage does a VO user using a widget on a Mac? Daniel Hawkins - Posted from my Macbook Pro iPhone 4S, 16GB, Jailbroken IOS 7.0.4 iPad 2nd Gen, 32gb iPhone 3gs 8gb, as media player 2012 15in. Macbook Pro 2.3 Qua

Hey Teresa, In Mountain Lion the Widgets Manager didn't work with VO. You could add widgets but couldn't delete them or edit the order. Good luck playing with it, and hopefully you won't end up banging your head up against the wall like I did. On Feb 27, 2014, at 7:28 PM, Teresa Cochran wrote:
