I really like Caleb Cannon’s Evaluate dashboard widget. It’s simple, well-designed, and very useful for doing quick calculations. It’s like a widgetised version of SpeedCrunch. Unfortunately, when updating from Tiger to Leopard, it stopped working properly—the body would no longer scroll, and font settings didn’t work. This made it very annoying to use.
A few hours of Dashcode later, I present version 1.1 of Evaluate. It functions properly in Leopard, and adds a new feature: the result of the previous operation is set in a variable named ans, just like in SpeedCrunch, and if you start your next expression using one of the four major operators (+-/*), it will automatically be prepended. I find this to be a huge time-saver, and I hope you do too.
