Portable XWidget

Portable XWidget is a practical tool designed to personalize your desktop with weather widgets, RSS feed readers and search tools. Although some Windows version include this feature, the XWidget app is a viable alternative which also offers the option to create widgets.

The main advantage of the app is that it allows you to access your favorite widgets on any computer. You just need to install the program on a removable storage device and configure the ones that you want to use.

Each widget can be configured by adjusting the window size, opacity and position or by placing it on top of the other windows. The mouse through option enables you to click on the window or desktop item under a widget.

In the package you can find basic widgets, such as a clock, photo frame and computer statistics dashboard. However, the app also includes a design tool that enables you to create your own widget according to your needs.

Unlike other development tools, this app does not require coding knowledge and uses a visual approach to the design process. You can simply drag and drop elements on the interface and change their size, color or content. Advanced users can also use their knowledge by manually editing the script that powers the graphical elements.

If you don’t want to get your hands dirty and just want to use the available widgets, the XWidget Gallery provides access to hundreds of options. This component automatically installs the files that have downloaded from the gallery.

Overall, Portable XWidget can enrich your desktop with custom made tools. Since anyone can use the designer and share their work, the list of available widgets should satisfy most users.
