OS X: Make a Dashboard Widget of Your Favorite Facebook Game

Contributed by shamanstears on February 26, 2010 under Mac OS X Leopard

Facebook has all kinds of cool games that are great to play, but sometimes you wish you didn’t have to deal with the distraction of the rest of the Facebook page. You just want to play the game. While I don’t recommend this for games like Farmville and MyTown (besides, they have fullscreen mode), it works great for games such as Bejeweled Blitz, Nuke It!, or ZyngaPoker.
