Widgets Factory
Read full descriptionHide full description
This is a minimal, dedicated, pre-styled, and pre-formatted widgets application. It supports both light and dark modes automatically as well as the smaller and larger sizing customizations. The first feature implemented is a small and simplistic Maps widget which is auto updated based on your present location. The second feature is a classic and vintage medium sized Clock widget with 12 or 24 hour modes available. The third feature is a large size Weather widget that has a detailed and informative interface style which also matches the flat theme and layout of the other widgets.
