IT Home January 17 news, one of the new features of Microsoft Windows 11 is "widgets", this function allows users to see the weather, stocks, news and other information, users can arrange the location size of the widgets, much like the previous Windows 8/10 live tiles. However, Windows 11 widgets do not support open third parties, and users can only use a few of Microsoft's official components at present.
Based on some evidence that Windows developer FireCube found from microsoft store terms, this could be about to change.
From the screenshot of the store, it seems that the API for widgets is about to open, applications will be able to create custom widgets, just like live tiles, and even websites will be able to support widgets.
IT House understands that, according to the description, the widget will be adaptive and have a small footprint, while the build will be open.
It's unclear when Microsoft will open the widget, but store information indicates that Microsoft is working on it. With a variety of widget support, we may be able to see more diverse ways to use them than the original live tiles.
