Dashboard & RKLauncher

How can I do a Link to F8 in the Rk Launcher just like in Tiger?

make a script in note pad by pasting put in it the following

'--- start ---

set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.SendKeys "{F2}"

'--- end ---

name it dashboard.vbs

then drag it to RKLauncher and give it the icon you want.

thats it

You may also combine this script with launching Konfabulator:

'--- start ---

set wshshell=createobject("wscript.shell")

wshshell.run(chr(34)&"c:ProgrammePixoriaKonfabulatorKonfabulator.exe"&chr(34))

wscript.sleep 3000

wshshell.SendKeys "{F11}"

'--- end ---

This let's Konfab start up, wait 3 seconds until the widgets have been loaded and then show them in Konsposé-mode ... that's how I do it And because you can only run one instance of Konfabulator it also works while it already runs

I had the script working fine and now it doesn't.

I double-click the vbs and nothing happend. Any suggestion?

The first script works fine for me, just change the F2 to F8 or whatever you have it set to

Is it possible to write a script that allows for the following:

1. Click on the icon on RK Launcher to start Yahoo Widget Engine; then

2. While Widget Engine is running, when you click on it a second time it brings up konspose?

If so, is it also possible for the icon on the dock to have a running indicator?

Thanks.
