• Support Renewed to iOS 14.2
Starting off this update is new support for older devices running any iOS all the way back to iOS 14.2.
Do note that some widgets using those features newer than your OS may not work as expected and that is completely normal.
• 300+ Brilliant, New Fonts
Widgy 2.2 comes with 300+ new fonts. The app can now handle this many fonts because of some memory improvements when generating the widget previews.
Some highlights of these are the iOS 16 Lock Screen fonts (specifically Soft, Rails and Stencil), BPdots, and ColorTube (as well as other colored fonts), but of course there are many more.
SF Symbols, Font Awesome, and Material Icons also got updated, so now Widgy has more variants of those. One notable one, Font Awesome Brands is now available, and it has a wide variety of brand logos that are worth exploring. Smart Symbols have also been added for Agenda Completed Today/Tomorrow.
• Tap Actions 2.0
The Action tab of a Tap Action has been redesigned to allow for some new features:
Widget Action is the main thing that the widget does to itself. If that doesn't make any sense, it's either Reload Widget, Button or Nothing. So if you set this to reload widget, then it will reload. A button could switch views or hide sensitive data...
External Action is the external thing, like a redirect. It can be used to open a URL, RSS feed, another app, run a shortcut, or just return to the home screen when you tap on the widget. You could pair a reload with a return for what used to just be Reload Widget. You could also disable Wifi and hide your RSS feed in one tap.
Play Sound is brand new and self-explanatory. Your tap action can now play a sound when you disable WiFi and hide your RSS feed. All the sounds available are from the iOS sound library. Do note you do need your ringer on for these to play.
Vibrate is also brand new and also self-explanatory. This one also has many options from the basic vibration intensity to the various taptic patterns and strengths.
• The Emboss Effect
You can now emboss many of the layers in the effects tab. You can pick the colors, angle and amount.
• New Automation View & Video Preview Lengths
The timeline view new looks significantly better and more organized, so that you can see what specifically is going on with each animation. The automation graph in both the timeline view and the animator video also were redesigned. This should help all of the animators and animations from the very simple to the ones where every minute is different.
In addition to that, you can show off your video previews with more than one video length now, from 6 to 48 seconds. So people can see everything a little bit sooner when you share your widgets here.
• Text Charts
Text now has another new date source, charts. One line charts, like ■■■■■□□□, 62%, or just every single value in a normal chart. Maybe you want a different ascetic for some of your charts or you're making an inline lock screen widget. Since those can only contain a single symbol and line of text, text charts are perfect for showing the amount of something at a glance. There's also a separator option on the text that can be used when listing multiple items of a chart now.
• Choosable Line Count Calendars
When one line isn't enough, but five is too many, you had to pick. Widgy v2.2 prevents you from needing to do that, and you can now pick any number of rows between 1 and 5 to get the prefect length to the calendar.
• There's More
As always, there's more much smaller features and bug fixes that weren't covered in this large post that are ready to use, like "Time Until Next Sunrise" and "Time Until Next Sunset" for text and charts, and new links in the create tab to watch P!XLZ' videos.
