Well well, good to see there are others interested in widgets and creating runtimes besides just me :)
In case your interested, my Widget Runtime is not based on anything other than Qt's webkit and MeeGo Touch Framework. I've been working on it since October 2011 and thought it would be about time to publish something (hence the BETA). I also considered naming it something along the lines of "CiTizen Mee" but in the end thought that it wouldn't be very appealing to the masses and besides I'm also supporting Opera widgets and Symbian widgets so it wouldn't have been very fitting :P As for future developement/roadmap, I'm right now working on separating widgets to run on their own processes (after that one crash shouldn't kill all windows) and also trying to create some sort of plugin API for extending support to new standards and JS APIs. Also, I would want to create support for Symbian WRT platform services and WAC2.x platform services at some point. |

Sviox, i tried to run google maps widget but it doesn't work - it shows only plain white window and nothing else. Does it only work with GPS enabled?

This is just great - would it also be able to support google chrome widgets in the future?

Hi BluesLee,
I love the idea behind this app, There are some bugs I noticed though. Such as when you try to rotate the screen some apps graphics mess up. And sometimes apps won't show properly in portrait. Is there a way to detect what type of app it is and lock it its orientation? Vromoth |

as indicated in the initial post i am not the developer of this app which is in BETA stage;-) Nevertheless, according to Sviox's blog you can unzip your example widget, modify the corresponding config file, zip it back and run it on your N9. For Tizen widgets you would need to modify config.xml Code:
