Widget basics

Widgets render without chrome, such as toolbars buttons
Widgets live outside the Opera window
Widgets use HTML, JavaScript and CSS, and can use other technologies such as SVG.
All widgets have a configuration file.
Widgets are packaged in the zip format, and have their extension renamed to .wdgt.
Widgets can use AJAX technologies to create powerful cross-domain web applications.

Developer tips

Do not reinvent the wheel: Use the libraries provided by Opera
Limit the size of your widgets
Keep your widgets simple
Write efficient code
Widgets should not stop working when the user is offline
