Widget basics
  1. Widgets render without chrome, such as toolbars buttons
  2. Widgets live outside the Opera window
  3. Widgets use HTML, JavaScript and CSS, and can use other technologies such as SVG.
  4. All widgets have a configuration file.
  5. Widgets are packaged in the zip format, and have their extension renamed to .wdgt.
  6. Widgets can use AJAX technologies to create powerful cross-domain web applications.
Developer tips
  1. Do not reinvent the wheel: Use the libraries provided by Opera
  2. Limit the size of your widgets
  3. Keep your widgets simple
  4. Write efficient code
  5. Widgets should not stop working when the user is offline
