Are there any small widget apps out there that are still supported?
This all started when I had the Spotify app showing me what was currently playing on the right hand side of the window.
I then thought it would be nice to have a little widget on the desktop to show me this as I have two screens so can afford to waste some space on the desktop. Updated the app and then the right hand panel disappeared - turns out it's experimental but now I've updated, I can't get it back.
Found that Windows 11 has it's own widget system but it's rubbish as all the widgets are in a little flyout thing that opens and closes. The spotify widget just wants me to play whatever instead of showing me nice album art and stuff, so that's a shame.
I discovered I can press WINDOWS KEY + G and it'll open up a little thing where I can "pin" widgets but it's not that nice.
I don't really want to install another program but if there is one that plays nicely with Spotify then I may be convinced.
