How to make a widget on NXT-OS?

[Lukaka]

I have a skin, and I was wondering how to add it to the NXT-OS dashboard? I can post the skin I want to add if it helps, but is there a way to do it with any skin? thanks!

I think you have to create a folder under the NXT-OS, and copy your ini file there. If that skin uses resources, add them to the @Resources folder of the NXT-OS folder (so, to Skins\NXT-OS\@Resources\ folder).
Don't forget to refresh all, otherwise Rainmeter won't see the newly added skin.

I'll check that out thanks...

I'll check that out thanks...

Ok, check it and let me know if helped.

That did not do it... any other ideas?

[Lukaka]

I figured it out. I had to put it in skins\NXT-OS Data\widgets\Widgetname\Widget.ini


(the widget.ini had to be called widget.ini, to name it something just name the folder it is in)

You also had to add this to the top

Code: Select all

@Include=#SKINSPATH#NXT-OS\@Resources\Framework\Widget.Framework

Im stuck again... So this worked:

Code: Select all

@Include=#SKINSPATH#NXT-OS\@Resources\Framework\Widget.Framework

Instead of showing up on the NXT-OS Dash, it just shows up on my desktop. What is different?!!?! I can't figure it out!
