STEP NINE (Tips for Widgets)

When you're trying out widgets, remember these three tips:

(1) There may be more to a widget than meets the eye (meaning, you can tweak how it works or add some custom information to suit your needs) if you move your cursor over the widget and a tiny "i" icon appears somewhere on the widget. Click the "i" icon to access the options that will allow you to customize the widget to your liking.

(2) Some widgets can't work properly unless your Mac is connected to the Internet (like the one that tracks your stocks, for example), so make sure you're online when you start trying these out.

(3) To close a widget, press-and-hold the Option key and then move your cursor over the widget you want to close. When an X button appears in the widget's top-left corner, click on it to close it.
