Configuring the OS X Widget

Roll your mouse over the widget. Click on the small ‘i’ that appears in the bottom right-hand corner.

The widget will flip over and display the Preferences pane. Here, you can configure the CardBoardFish SMS Widget and enter your CardBoardFish Personal Account information.

First, enter a Sender. You can either enter up to 11 alphanumeric characters or a mobile number to create a Sender ID.

If you enter a mobile number, please read the article Registering a Mobile Number with the OS X Widget.

If you have not already, enter your CardBoardFish Personal Account username and password.

A Default country code means you can send messages to mobiles in that country in local format. For example, entering 44, the country code for the United Kingdom, means you can send text messages to numbers beginning 07 rather than having to use the International prefix 447.

Finally, select whether you would like the widget to receive delivery confirmations or not. Delivery confirmations will ‘pop up’ on your desktop and also be recorded in your message history. Click Done when you are finished.
