First of all, it's great to have the option to use a widget. I use one as a kind of GUI to toggle some of my "switches". It's also great that you can use variables in the text-items.
What I'm missing in the current version is, that you can change the text color (or any other object color) on dependency to a value of variable. Like if global_foo == 1 then the text color is green else it's red.
It would also be nice, when you can choose the Area where a clickable event is, or if I press a item (for example a circle-item) that an event will start. At the moment, I have to make an item that is exactly on the position of the clickable area that it seems to look like that the item is the button.

Hi,

You can already modify most properties of widget elements using action Script with function setWidgetElementProperty:
The widget tutorial describes this in the Tips section at the end: Widget Tutorial

It's unlikely that I will allow custom positions for the clickable areas since I have not found a way to make this reliably work on different launchers with different cell sizes.

Hi Martin,

thanks, I didn't find that you can already modify the settings of an item via script.

For the clickable events: Maybe you can add an option to any item (like a circle, etc.) that it is clickable. I don't know how difficult it would be, but I think if you can show a item in the right size, that you can also make it clickable?
