So, you've finally got Mac OS X.4 (Tiger). No problems, until you try the new features. You find out that you hate Dashboard &/or Spotlight (or you must disable it for some reason). Or, you find that Konfabulator is a better choice for you than Dashboard. Wouldn't it be great if you could just disable it?

Well, now you can. Thanks to the knowledge of the OS X community, FilKiFan Software is pleased to present DisableTigerFeatures! It can disable Spotlight and Dashboard, and if you ever feel like you need to re-enable them (or you are about to apply a Software Update), just press a button, and you're back to where you started.

Note: This application modifies IMPORTANT system files! Please be sure to have a backup before you attempt this!

What's New:
a much better icon by bryant (thanks again!) and it is properly installed now (icns)
you no longer have to restart your computer to disable/enable Dashboard. However, due to a bug in XCode (it says that File1 has an error while File2 has exactly the same code and compiles perfectly) I had to make the message following the enabling on Dashboard very simple. While the message for disabling worked perfectly, I simplified it as well.
this version should work natively on intel processors (untested)
updated credits information.

Requirements:
Mac OS X 10.4 or later (10.4.1 is highly recommended)
Administrator access.
