I might have made a mistake but... As per documentation and examples this should work
Code:
function widgetOnLoad()
{

  widget.Top = 0;
  widget.Left = 0;
  bg.Left = 0;

  widget.Height = ScreenHeight;
  var nIcons = Math.floor(ScreenHeight/72);
  //shortcutlistcore1.ItemCountOfSinglePage = nIcons;
    shortcutlistcore1.cmd(null,"!ItemCountEveryPage="+nIcons);
  print(nIcons);

  list.Height = 72*nIcons;

  for(i = 1; i<= nIcons; i++) {
     var icon = template.Clone(list);
     icon.Name = "icon"+i;
     icon.Top = (i-1)*72 + 4;
     icon.Left = 0;
     icon.Core = shortcutlistcore1;
     icon.Coreformat = '%item'+i+'_Icon';

     icon.Parent = list;
     icon.Visible = true;
  }

  shortcutlistcore1.UpdateTargets();
}


Buttons initialize properly, I've tested them, but don't show the icons!

This is a sidebar like widget inspired from those found in Galaxy Grand 2 and Ubuntu. Drag and Drop to add icons.

One thing that I found is that you forgot to fill the "OnClick" function of the template with the "!Open".
But tested and even with this code the shortcut doesn't work/open the file.
Why not use shortcuts like a normal dock widget..?

var icon = template.Clone(list);
icon.parent = list;
icon.scripter = widget.scripter;

But still, If I add icons they do not display. Only the first one is. Try dragging and dropping two or three icons. Hand-point cursor appears and and clicking them opens the shortcut, but there is no sign of the icon! Really strange.

Oh! I missed that !open. But thats not I'm trying to achieve. The widget should resize and fill all the available height with available icons. The problem is that the buttons do created, and the applications open when clicked on appropriate button, but don't display the icon... Even adding a hint tag shows the correct names!

all icons have been created.
if you set icon.src = WidgetPath+'default.png', you can see them after adding shortcuts.
but their src don't change. it's strange.

Yes... that's the problem... Something with the core?

I even tried using an image inplace of the button, still nothing...

As you have already said the shortcuts and icons are created... if you right click on the shortcuts and select - edit shortcut - the path, name and ICON appear correctly.
If you edit shortcut 1 it updates OK, so shortcut 1 is working all OK.
So if shortcut 1 works OK ... What is the difference between shortcut 1 and the others ???
As you said it seems to be the clone process that makes it not work ???

Thanks qiancang... A little hint was enough!
Looks like we needed to set the absolute path of the icon not the relative ones...

icon.Coreformat = WidgetPath+'\\%item'+i+'_Icon';

However, this causes the !Open to not fire correctly... Still, a fix was possible using event handlers.

Will post the scripts after a little finishing touches :mrgreen:

for(i = 1; i<= nIcons; i++) {
var icon = template.Clone(list);
widget.InitControl(icon); // it's necessary!
icon.Parent = list;
icon.Name = "icon"+i;
icon.Top = (i-1)*72 + 4;
icon.Left = 0;
icon.Core = shortcutlistcore1;
icon.Coreformat = '%item'+i+'_Icon';
icon.Visible = true;
}
