Important note for upgraders: Previous countdowns will need to be recreated. This is an OS X issue.

Some upgraders will need to restart their dashboard in order to have the widget work properly. This can be done by either restarting one's machine or by opening Applications/Utilities/Terminal and typing:
killall Dock
