I've been running widgets on my OS X desktop for a few years, but since I've upgraded to Lion, the method of getting them onto the desktop doesn't work anymore. I used to be able to bring up Dashboard with F12, then click and hold on a widget then hit F12 again and drag the widget and it'd stay on the desktop. Now when I hit F12 again, the dashboard disappears, and so does the widget. I used the command
so that shouldn't be the problem. I'd really like to be able to do this again, so anyone who can help, it will be greatly appreciated!
Code:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES
