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:
Clock (Preview)
- Large digital time
- Date
- 12/24‑hour toggle (saved in localStorage)
Stopwatch (Preview)
- Start / pause / reset
- Optional lap display
- Pure JS preview behavior
Alarms (Preview)
- Add/remove alarms
- Labels
- Enable/disable
- Stored in localStorage
- Simple preview notification + sound
- Not intended to be a real alarm system
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.
