@The_Durben
Really cool looking widgets! How did you get the tweak working last night?

@Steph53940
Thanks =) Didn't think you could setup everything in the emulator. How did you do it?

hmmmm ( This tweak is based on WyndWarrior's PerPageHTML, which I really like, with some changes made to address my personal preferences. Credits to him for the awesome work and code snippet which got me started)

You should post it to cydia. Make sure you give credits to wyndwarrior though.

man how can I add the HTC and Music Player widgets ?

[eldwin]

well I just wanted to ask how do I add more widgets ? should I download HTML widgets for perpageHTML and put them in iWidgets folder via iFile ?
please replay cuz I really love this tweat and I really like to know how..
thanks man !

Hi alon799, I'm glad you like the tweak. I'm replying to your PM here so others can also read my answer. The main difference between PerPageHTML and this is that we used to have to edit the HTML to change the position of the widgets. Since this tweak lets you drag and drop widgets, there are 2 things you need to edit if you want to convert a PerPageHTML widget.

1. You need to edit the html / css so that the widget is positioned at the top left (0, 0). If the widget is already initially at the top-left when you load it in PerPageHTML, then skip this step.

2. You need to create a file called Widget.plist which contains dimensions of the widget so that the tweak knows how much space to allocate it. An example is provided on the first page.

About the MusicPlayer widget, it is currently only a proof of concept that I am able to control the iPod/Music app from a widget. Even if you have it right now the buttons will not work. There is much more work to be done and I will release it if I ever get round to completing it.

okay first thank you so much for replying but I didn't really understand all that.. can you just give me an edited download link for some widgets ? thanks !

Will you share your weather widget?

Thank you. Did you have to reboot after installing?

[The_Durben]

I'll share the weather later today.
The Slideshow as well.

You should also reboot. In my case for some reason I had to reboot several times.

This is great. FYI there is a conflict with infiniboard though.Oh and I got a widget stuck in the dock area.It vanished when I stopped the wiggle.No idea where it went,lol

[eldwin]

Thanks bombmom. I had not anticipated this since I've never used infiniboard. Depending on how complex infiniboard is, I may or may not be able to support this, but don't expect this anytime soon as there are more important things to fix. By default, I remove widgets that are completely out of view when the wiggle stops, so people are less likely to end up with widgets they can't remove.

I'm not to worried about the infiniboard thing.You can turn off infiniboard place your widget and turn it back on and it works,I figure its a layering thing. And I'm glad to know where the widget went,lol

Want to make sure all will work without conflict for updates.
