Designing Images for Dashboard

If you are using Dashcode, then you won't need images for most of the controls in your image. You can design the other images you use in your widget with Opacity and bring them into Dashcode, or directly into the widget if you are editing it directly. Two special images you're likely to need for your widget are the background image and the widget's icon. Opacity has templates to help you get started with making both of these images. One great way to make the most of your image is to use variables. With variables, you can use one image file to generate several images to use in your project. You can use a boolean variable to make a button image with an enabled and disabled state, or a color variable to draw one image with different color schemes.
