On a side note, a fellow classmate showed me
StyleXP, which allows you to put custom themes on your PC. I have an OSX theme on right now (its default) ... this is the first theme program that hasn't FUBAR'ed my computer. When the 30-day trial is up (pretty soon, I believe!!), I intend to purchase it.
As for widgets ... I don't even use them on my Mac Dashboard ... not counting Stickies as a separate app, which I overuse
