    Please let us add the iPhone/ipad’s battery widget to the screen. It would be nice to keep tracks on their battery statuses when I tuck them away while at work on my Mac.

    I’m using Sonoma 14.2 and add some widgets to my external displays (the extended one, not the main display). When I disconnect the macbook from the external display and use macbook’s display only, none of the widgets appears on macbook’s own display. Would you help me out with that?

    Unfortunately, if a person uses multiple Desktops (which I do), all of the widgets carry over from one Desktop to the next. I would like it if I could customize each Desktop to have its own unique widgets.

    OK so I added a few widgets, then I enabled desktop stacks... and those stacks disappeared behind the widgets : ) Now how can you move a stack so that it's not hidden behind a widget?? For what it's worth, I'm running Sonoma 14.1.1. I feel pretty stupid not being able to move an icon on the desktop, but I've only had a Mac for a few months
