Actually, we’ve come up with seven Mac OS X Dashboard Widgets that fit the bill — they’re free, fun and very light on disk space and system resources.

TNG Time Widget, 64K — Apple’s default World Clock Dashboard widget is just so boring and where’s the star date? The Star Trek: The Next Generation Time Widget puts you in time with the universe and does in the appropriate, actually, the only style worthy of consideration.

TNG Calendar, 124K — Here again, Apple’s default Calendar widget is just so utilitarian and, well, blasé. Chart a fresh course with this widget and dump the Gregorian Calendar once and for all.
