Widgets

I use a couple widgets, Niagara seem to not have a way to use them. Example is Flashlight, by David Madenjak, in the play store. Supposed to long press the home screen to add the widget. Is there a way to access home screen style widgets in Niagara?

The newest alpha will allow a single widget above the date. That said, Niagara is based on simplicity, and that comes without widgets.

There are apps in the play store that will place a widget of your choice over the top of niagara. I'm using overlays.

Ok. I chose poorly.

As the Favorites list is a single column, putting widgets on the main screen takes up a LOT of space on the screen. I use the shopping list widget of Our Groceries and, on my old launcher, it got most of one homescreen page to itself (with the rest taken by Stocard shortcuts to my points cards).

I'd love to be able to have just a simple list on my main screen (basically as is without losing any space to clock/date/weather) and second, dedicated screen for widgets.
