## Description

Widgets by You allows you to design and customize your phone widgets effortlessly. Begin with a blank canvas or select from customizable templates using a WYSIWYG editor that supports undo, redo, copy, and paste for easy iteration. Key features include varied widget objects like date/time with timezone support, text with custom fonts and transformations, shapes, images, weather icons, and analog clocks with adjustable dials and hands.

Organize widget elements using absolute, vertical, horizontal, and flow layouts, enhanced with support for solid colors and gradients. The extension seamlessly integrates wallpaper colors, updating widgets dynamically with your wallpaper changes, while also supporting light and dark themes. Advanced expression parameters enable dynamic widget behavior based on time or other factors. Interactive actions can be set for clickable widget areas. Additionally, share your editable widgets with others and set custom color or gradient wallpapers. Join the beta program for early access to new features and improvements.
