The program does a simple HTTP request to fetch the newest released version number of the software. If this process fails for whatever reason (e.g. database is down) then the program will refuse to open.

Hello, I want to present calendar widget with specific settings, for example language. Can u make properties for widgets?

I'm having a problem with the GPU temperature going from 30°C at idle to over 50°C while WinWidgets is loaded.
Fresh install of the latest release on Windows 10. In task manager it shows minimal GPU load but the temperature is climbing.

This is without any widgets visible, just the app minimized in the tray. If I quit the app the temperature is back to normal.
Is this normal ? I've only notice-it because of the GPU fan being noisier after I installed WinWidgets.

Whenever any widget is closed, the widget manager will freeze for a few seconds before resuming.

During this state you can't:

1. Move
2. Close
3. Minimize
4. Open widgets
5. Interact with other open widgets
6. Close the app via the NotifyIcon's Context Menu

On my machine it takes around 8 seconds for the app to unfreeze. The current way it closes is by calling Form.Close(), I also tested with Form.Dispose() which seems to fix this issue, but then if I try to open another widget after closing, it throws a Cross-thread operation not valid: Control accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on

It should either exit all widgets or minimize to system tray.

This is because the Software is attempting to read from a file that's open in another process. Just making it ignore the file should be enough.

This SO question should help

There should be a global shortcut for hiding the widgets like ALT + H. It should also be configurable through the settings menu.

First of all, brilliant.
Second, I'm wondering why there's no option for "run widgets on startup". I mean, I could write differents widgets and place them all around my desktop in a specific way, but then on a new startup I can't get them to be loaded automatically?

Third, I'm having some issues with lag while moving the widget. My pc is quite medium, ryzen 5 + 16gb ram but I still don't get why would it lag that much.
This is my code:

I want to display a tradingview widget with some info about a stock. I'm using this one: https://www.tradingview.com/widget/mini-chart/

Hello, can you create transparent background color in widgets?
Maybe this article help you to make this feature: https://www.magpcss.org/ceforum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=17421#

• put a widget on the desktop
• toggle it as "Always on Top"
• disconnect from your session
• reconnect
• reopen WinWidgets

Result : the widget is not "Always on top" anymore.

What should be observed :

Like the position is, the "Always on top" status should be stored, and restored when the application is reopened.

I'll try to get some time to create a PR for this. As I'm not a .Net expert, any help about where the modification should be in the code would be appreciated.

When I mark the app as "run on startup", it shows fully on startup. It would be useful to have (the ability to have) only the widgets reloaded.

I'll try to get some time to develop and create a PR for this. As I'm not a .Net expert, any help about where the modification should be in the code would be appreciated.. Thanks ! :)

Sometimes when the app loads (more consistent when loading for the first time) the widgets will appear twice in the widgets manager. From what I observed there are no abnormalities in how they work:

You can...

1. Open
2. Close
3. Set Top-most
4. Move
5. Open multiple instances

They work just like the normal ones, but they are somehow being duplicated. If you close the app and then open it again, the duplicates will disappear.

The issue

Sometimes when some item in the context menu is clicked, the click does not register and the context menu stays open.
Below is an example. I am attempting to click on "Toggle always on top", but it failed to register my clicks three times in a row.

• Allow declaration of variables (with their type, and their default value) via the meta
• On a widget, allow changing the value of the variables

... and what do you think about global variables ? Which can be understood of two different ways :

• Every widget has the same global variables (ex : background-color, background-opacity) I can set individualy on each widget
• and/or I can set a variable globally for all the widgets
  To be discussed further... :)

if you select do not show over windows, then when you click on the button in the lower right corner "Show desktop", the widget is hidden along with all windows

Hello friend, I wanted to test v1.3 but I'm having issues doing so.
After the process of installation, no shortcut gets created and no installed program.
Windows 10 (all prerequisites checked)

With the latest development commit (6d402d1) :

• Open WinWidgets
• Add the "Available space widget"
• Close WinWidgets
• Modify the widget html file : add <meta name="topMost" content="true" /> in the <head>
• Restart WinWidgets
  => application fails when loading the widget (see below)

I will try :

• at other commits
• with other .Net versions (I use the 4.8 version, because it was the one I downloaded)

But, already, first question : can you reproduce it ?

I noticed onNativeBatteryLevelEvent only returns battery level. However, upon reviewing the code, it appears that additional information such as charging status, full lifetime of battery in seconds, remaining battery life in seconds and power line status can be retrieved too. More detailed widgets can be created with these.

A new event called onNativeBatteryEvent can return a JSON like this.
(onNativeBatteryLevelEvent can be renamed to onNativeBatteryEvent too.)

{
batteryChargeStatus: "Charging",
batteryFullLifetime: 18000,
batteryLifePercent: 58,
batteryLifeRemaining : -1,
powerLineStatus: "Online",
}

The template battery widget can be updated to show charging status and remaining battery time with this new event.

I'm willing to create a pull request to implement this.

Haven't been able to pin point how it happens yet. Sometimes I can consistently pull it off. Other times it just works as normal.

It would be useful to be able to do system operations from within the widget :

• read/write files on the disk
• launch a command

I'll try to get some time to develop and create a PR for this. As I'm not a .Net expert, any help about where the modification should be in the code would be appreciated. Thanks :)

Trying to install. Install seems to work and shortcut is created, however nothing appears when it is run.

Have disabled virus programs but still no luck.

Am using Windows 11 Home 64 bit

thanks for any help

The context menu only say "Toggle Always on Top"

It could use a check item to indicate the state :

Always on top if it is not
✔ Always on top if it is

There are these white lines going across the widgets in the widget manager. If you hover over the widgets with the mouse they disappear. It's probably a front-end issue with the styling, I have been unable to identify the problem as of yet.

They are more noticeable when the software is maximized:

Instead of having to do :

• right-click
• Toggle Move
• Move
• Click

It would be much easier to have a "handle" bar, that you can grab and move your widget in one move

I'll try to get some time to develop and create a PR for this. As I'm not a .Net expert, any help about where the modification should be in the code would be appreciated.. Thanks ! :)
