Widget Overview
Overview
Widgets are the building blocks of applications that describe data and visual elements. Almost all applications, both passive and interactive, can be created with a key selection of widgets. The most commonly used widget is the Media Zone widget. It is used for backgrounds, interface elements and content playlist zones.
