In the newest builds, the "More Widgets" button located on the right side of the screen -- directly above the widget bar -- is replaced by a new "Manage Widgets" option. This button launches the new widget manager within Dashboard.

The new widget manager reportedly has the appearance of a widget itself -- but unlike most widgets, it cannot be flipped around to reveal special options or preferences. The widget manager's design is faintly similar to that of the iChat buddy list; it is laid out as an oversized window that lists all of a user's installed Dashboard widgets. Running down the left side of the list are checkboxes which allow the user to quickly enable and disable widgets. Along the right side of third-party widgets are red stop sign-like icons that allow the user to delete widgets -- upon clicking the icon, an overlaying dialog asks for confirmation.

At the upper-right of the widget manager is the Dashboard icon, at the upper-left is a close box, and at the upper-middle is a selector allowing users to sort the widget list by name, date, and whether it is enabled or not. Users can jump through the widget list with a scroll bar similar to the one seen in the Dictionary/Thesaurus widget. And at the bottom of the widget manager is the displaced "More Widgets" button, which still links to Apple's Dashboard widget download Web site.

The latest builds also demonstrate changes to widget installation. After users download a new widget in Safari, a dialog box asks whether or not they want to install the widget -- a security precaution intended to prevent the installation of malicious code. When users click "Install," the widget is displayed within a pseudo-Dashboard container that presents them with two options, "Delete" and "Keep." This feature allows users to see a widget in action and try it out before deciding to include it in their collection.
