Show Your Dashboard Some Love

Click on the image above to download the simple yet elegant lightset submitted by Michelle DuCharme, and share the love. For more Valentine's Day lightset designs, be sure to check out the lightset gallery.

Light Spectacular

browse lightsets Please feel free to browse the brand new lightset gallery. This gallery offers screenshots of a multitude of lightsets - some from us, and many from the Mac community - which you can easily install to bring some added flavor to your Dashboard. Naturally, there are a number of sets suitable for the holidays. I will be updating the gallery with a number of new submissions over the next few days.

Be sure to check back frequently as the list of lightsets submitted by the Mac community continues to grow!

Brighten Your Desktop

If you'd like your lights directly on your Desktop instead of in Dashboard, check out the DevMode widget that Jeremy Williams created. You will also want to check out the documentation. Or, you may also download Dasher from Splasm software in order to pull up their shining brilliance whenever your computer is idle.
