Third-party Windows 11 gadgets coming soon

When Microsoft revealed widget features for its upcoming Windows 11 operating system, it hinted that third-party widgets could be a thing of the future.

Widgets, for those of you who haven’t encountered them yet, are an interface in Windows 11 that are pinned to the taskbar by default. Activate it and you'll see news, stock information, weather forecasts, and more.

At this time all data comes from Microsoft services, and users can enable or disable certain modules to customize what is displayed. If you're not interested in sports or news, you can turn these off to hide them.

Third-party widgets appear in the interface just like Microsoft widgets when installed. Microsoft will embrace different types of widget technology—packaged apps, unpackaged apps, and the web—and users will primarily find them on the Microsoft Store and Widget Board.

Developers can create widgets for a variety of purposes, from displaying hardware statistics to custom RSS feeds and service-specific widgets that deliver content directly to the Windows desktop.
