XWidgetSoft Forum

Hi! i have been using Rainmeter for the past year and a half, i downloaded Xwidget out of curiosity and found it SOOO POWERFUL AND SO MUCH EASIER TO USE!! AND TAKES A LOT LESS RESOURCES!

Anyways i got sadly surprised wen i couldn't find a help guide, a "how to" guide, a tutorial ... nothing, the only video tutorials i found here are just 2 , and none of them work (YouTube videos removed).. how can this be? o.O)' such an excellent program with not even a help guide? such a shame.. im i missing something?

Yes, it is true, there is no help manual yet. Those who use it are autodidacts;) (and addicts to this program)
The program is so EXCELLENT AND POWERFUL that is well worth the cost!
Someday it will, hopefully, before the end of the Mayan world ...
Anyway, just try, is not so hard!

Hey Armando, i found a chinese forum with loads of tutorials and a help guide! i suspect the software must be Chinese..hehe, anyways google translate is useful but the best are the video tutorials! .. i have a couple questions if you dont mind

1- can a widget be started from an other widget? calling one from another?
2- can a widget be included in an other widget? like createing widgets separately and afterwards join them together using some kind of < import > or < include > command.

here is an example of what i mean, i created the tabs board and then i create the skins that can be called (opened) or just included inside the tab with an
"@include= XX" command , the job of making & manipulating many skins (like 40) gets simplified wen you can create them separately




thats it for now! thanks in advance

You can put them all in one widget. I made one example.

Hi qiancang

thanks for the example! was very useful!

But anyways my concern is working with dozens of skins inside one single module becomes a nightmare, at least a hundred measures, images, parsers etc without being able to hide what i dont need at the moment may be a very unpleasing task, thats why i wanted to know if skins can be incorporated some way with XWidget "calling" them from an external source


here is an other example:




if i had to build all that in a single skin i would have gaven up long ago..

this becomes a more practical way of handling many modules with sub-modules that also have sub-modules

This skin can help you.

hey qiancang, thanks for that example, but this doesn't show "nested" skins, they r just standard separated skins, i haven't seen anything like i described previously, is this not possible with xwidget?
