More Apps And Widgets

Prerequisites

  • I am sure that this problem has NEVER been discussed in other issues.

  • I confirm that I am using the official url (tjy-gitnub.github.io/win12).

  • I have followed the code of conduct.

Description

Win12 currently includes only two preview widgets (MiniCalc and Weather).
To expand the preview experience and make the desktop feel more complete, I propose adding several new preview widgets and a preview Clock app.

These features are not meant to be full applications or real system tools — they are preview‑only UI components, using simple JavaScript and localStorage just like the existing widgets.

Proposed Solution

New Preview Widgets

Add the following preview‑only widgets:

  • MiniClock (Preview)

    • Simple digital/analog time display
    • 12/24‑hour toggle (saved in localStorage)
  • MiniNotes (Preview)

    • Editable sticky notes
    • Auto‑save to localStorage
    • Purely a preview UI element
  • MiniCPU (Preview)

    • Simulated CPU/RAM usage
    • Visual‑only, no real hardware access
    • Matches the preview style of Win12
  • MiniCalendar (Preview)

    • Small month view
    • Highlights today
    • Pure preview component
  • MiniTimer / Stopwatch Widget (Preview)

    • Simple start/stop/reset
    • Pure JS timing
    • Preview‑only behavior
  • MiniPhotoFrame (Preview)

    • Rotating preset images
    • Fade transitions
    • Preview‑only visual widget
  • MiniNews (Preview)

    • Static or simulated headlines
    • Scrollable preview feed
    • No real data sources

All widgets remain small, draggable, and consistent with the existing preview widget system.


New Clock App (Preview)

Add a preview Clock application with four simple tabs:

  1. Clock (Preview)

    • Large digital time
    • Date
    • 12/24‑hour toggle (saved in localStorage)
  2. Stopwatch (Preview)

    • Start / pause / reset
    • Optional lap display
    • Pure JS preview behavior
  3. Alarms (Preview)

    • Add/remove alarms
    • Labels
    • Enable/disable
    • Stored in localStorage
    • Simple preview notification + sound
    • Not intended to be a real alarm system
  4. World Time (Preview)

    • List of selected cities
    • Uses JS toLocaleString()
    • Cities saved in localStorage
    • Purely a preview of world clocks

All features are lightweight and intended only as preview UI, not full system utilities.

Note

These additions are preview‑only features, consistent with the existing Win12 design.
They do not attempt to simulate real OS functionality — they simply expand the visual and interactive preview environment using simple JavaScript and localStorage.
