Sorry if this has been covered before.
But I tried to use the Today Widget, today (I have tried before, but long time ago). Anyway, I was suprised about what I could do.
I was able to load a CustomView using @JonB PYUILoader (loading a pyui file into a Custom Class) , I was able to use the update method in the custom class to update a timer value. Interact with a database (a single call for now).
Anyway, it all just works. Well execpt for the bg_color. The way I am doing it, I end up with a white bg_color. I tried setting the bg_color = None, that does not work. I will have to find out how to do that.
but the below code is not runable on anothers device, I just wanted to start something and see if things like update method would work.
I am not sure if different devices get more memory to run today widgets or not.
So the below code is not meant to be smart/polished. Just wanted to see if it would work.
