Hello everyone.
Well, the new Nspire OS 4.4 is leaked by the same guy who has leaked OS 4.3. Thx to him!
In this new version, a new application called "widget" is built in, which can be added in a document.

The image of OS 4.4 will not be uploaded here, though I have got it.

Now let's take a look at the new widget.
At present, the only avaliable widget is a simple stopwatch. However, the OS 4.4 is still under development and there may be more widgets built in when it is finally released, or we can programme our own widgets.
This stopwatch get a useful feature:you can record the time it shown and it will be avaliable in other applications such as the main calculator, or the grapher, for the time recorded will be saved as a list.
Besides, it is also possible to spilt screen when using a widget.

Great discovery !

Thank you very much for sharing your informations, BrainPortable.


The widget app feels to me like some way of auto-generating basic/simple Lua scripts on-calc, like the stopwatch one for example...
We'll see.

Nice, awesome this new os.
Have you new information about Widget application?

Now I did some investigations on widgets.
In fact, a widget is just a Lua script; you can put any Lua programs, and even Lua games in "mywidgets" folder ,and then they can be added as a widget.
However, you cannot split more than one widget in one page; besides, some Lua programs will misbehaviour or just crash when added as widgets, if the page is being split.
Since an independent Lua file got all these features, we can see that widgets are nothing new; it is just a fast way to add a Lua script in a document.
