Custom made Widgets - NEW

thund3r's widgets

When I discovered that the widget file (*.wgt) is just a *.zip-file wth HTML-content inside I decided to create some widgets of my own or modify some Opera widgets. Here's what I came up with:

Widgets:

Screenshots:

I would appreciate the help of programmers if somene findes my work interesting because the html can only address to internet links/pages

but i cannot make a button that opens a WinMo program/shortcut...

A Fly - Just a picture of a fly that can be moved around your homescreen, foolig your friends :D (modified Opera Widget)

Friday Beer - A glass of beer that fills up showing the remaining days to friday (modified Opera Widget)

Light Bulb - A buld that can be turned on/off (This widget should open a flashlight app or boost/decrease screen brightness but I don't know how to do it...) (personal widget)

Mood Smiley - Tapping the widget will change the facial expression of the smiley matching your own mood :angry: (personal widget)

Magic 8-Ball - Tap the ball to receive an answer to your question (personal widget)

Sleeping Kitty - A little pet is taking a nap on your homescreen. Just touch to wake it up ;) (The widget should activate Sleep/Lock mode of your phone but again I need some help to do that programming) (personal widget)

Here's an archive of all the above listed widgets:

[Guest dinkydong]

Nice! :angry: Now, if only we can have a todo/task widget, it'll be perfect.

To install a widget just copy the .wgt file anywhere on your phone and click on it.

A messae pops up saying the widget was successfully installed.

And that's all - the widget should appear with all the other widgets - so just drag it to the home screen.

The PostIt widget is in .zip format - just rename it to PostIt.wgt or download it from here (there's a .wgt-version inside the .zip-file):

hey, I'd love to build some widgets, I'm just wondering what might be useful, codding is not a problem actually for me... idea is more important :angry: so just make some brainstorm, suggest some ideas, and lets take the best one and develop it! Just for your information, I'm not going to build any widgets that brake 3rd party licenses.

My ideas until now:

1. Sudoku

2. Solitaire game

3. Tic-Tac-Toe

4. Timer

5. Stop watch

so, whats your idea?

[Guest dinkydong]

I was actually referring to a todo/task widget that shares info with the Tasks application in WinMo (something similar to the Appointment Widget). It'll be handy for displaying uncompleted task(s) for the day.

[Guest thund3r]

Yes that will be much better but as I said before I cannot make a widget only with html script that is conneted to a WinMo/Samsung App :angry:

I'll need some help from the more expirienced users...

[Guest sequdaz]

This maybe abit out of topic but is there a favourite contacts widget like in the corbio pro?

Would be awesome to have one. :3

[Guest thund3r]

No, it's not off topic... I think that Samsung should make a software product for people like us that have ideas and not many coding scills to enrich the database of available widgets for both WinMo and Bada...

I have to agree. Even if the app only allows basic programming then the people who can program at the lower level could expand on the everyday users efforts and the widgets would expand further with the developments. Good ideas come from common users as they are the majority of people who use them.

I was getting an error message when I attempted to install widgets using Resco Explorer. If I install using File Explorer they install ok. I have no idea why.

[Guest Carlos Sun]

Your widgets' so cute :angry: I love these widget!

Making the widget itself is simple if you have some basic HTML knowledge...

To see the structure of the widget just rename it from *.wgt to *.zip and open that Zip-Archive

There you will find several files similar to the contents of a website.

The most simple structure is:

- index.html - that's the widget itself that displays on the screen

- config.xml - this file defines the properties of the widget like size, icon etc.

- icon.ico or icon.png - this is the icon of the widget that you see when browsing

To understand it all more clearly just open a widget view all the files and the coding (which is simple enough to understand even for newbies)

and do some reverse engeneering :D

You can also downoad some free Opera widgets and try to understand and even modify them for a start...

Of course not all Opera widgets are compatible with our O2 so you have to try and see which one is working.

I hope that now more people will be interested in this feature of the phone and come up with great ideas.

PS: Once again I can only make html widget not referring to any samsung or winmo app ;)

This involves a higher knowledge of programming ( that's about the SMS widget for example)...

But if someone of you could find a default samsung widget as a WGT-File we should be able to do a reverse engeneering with it too!

[Guest BLEK0TA]

hi master, i searching for touchwiz widget which can show me free ram on mainscreen..

did anybody know that kind of widget?

[Guest dgmorland]

In the process of creating these widgets, did you happen to discover if it is possible to modify the preinstalled widgets (eg the program shortcut widget)? I would like to be able to modify some of the images but I cant find any standalone wgt files for them. I can only find wgt files for Accuweather, Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Search, CNN and the MoreWidgets widget.
