Widget Watch: Art Director's Toolkit
Code Line Communicators, developers of Art Director's Toolkit, has developed a handy widget for easy-access to some of the tools and features of their app right within your Dashboard. However, the widget only comes with a copy of Art Director's Toolkit 5; the latest version which I don't believe is bundled with Macs just yet.Either way, this widget definitely pulls its weight, as it can "Search through thousands of color swatches in industry-standard libraries, view characters and keyboard equivalents of fonts, sample colors on-screen, convert fractions/decimals/units of measure, calculate file sizes, and much more."
While the widget is listed at Apple's Dashboard download site, the link simply points to the latest version of Art Director's Toolkit.

This has nothing to do with the Art Director's Toolkit Widget.
I have to ask, WHERE HAS THE ARTICLE GONE THAT QUOTED STEVE JOBS SAYING THAT, "IN ORDER TO HAVE THE LATEST AND GREATEST, YOU NEED TO BUY A NEW IPOD EVERY YEAR," I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHY IT WAS PULLED FROM TUAW.

OK. So, there's a free trial of the art director's toolkit that was supposed to come with a widget. I downloaded the free trial...and clicked to "install widget" only the widget didn't install. anyone else have this issue??? how do i get the widget?? short of buying the program!!! (which may happen at a later date..but for now, i want the free one!)
