Until a few years ago, an absolute exclusive of Android in terms of personalization consisted of widgets. These graphic elements offer many possibilities, both in terms of the graphic aspect of the interface and in terms of the information they offer. And if you’re really passionate about widgets, you can’t help but give them a try KWGT, a very powerful app for designing and designing widgets that we have been trying out for the past few days.

KWGT is one of the very few apps that allows one total customization of the widgets. In fact, the app comes with a fairly intuitive interface, with a home screen that collects practically all the possibilities made available in the context of creating a widget.

With KWGT you will have basically two roads available for creating widgets. The first consists in the possibility of drawing on already built structures for creating a widget. These packs of pre-built widgets are available on the Play Store as standalone apps and can be downloaded directly from KWGT for use within the app.

The preset packs for widgets are similar to the icon packs available for various Android launchers: with these packs you will be able to use wdgets as they are or customize them in each of their elements.

The second major route you can take with KWGT is the ability to create a widget from scratch. This means that you will have to decide and create each element of the widget from scratch. We will therefore start by defining the formthe hue of the various elements, any connections to insert in the buttons of the widget, the fonts, the size. In short, you will have understood that the KWGT editor allows you to customize any element of the widget.
