New Tab Widgets v1.3 – Digital Clock Widget and Custom Link Icons
New Tab Widgets v1.3 introduces the Digital Clock widget with multiple font styles, custom icon support for Link Bookmark widgets, a reworked FuelWatch widget, and relative timezone support for World Clock.
New Tab Widgets v1.3 adds a stylish Digital Clock widget, gives link bookmarks a personality with custom icons, and significantly improves the FuelWatch widget layout.
🕐 Digital Clock Widget
Tell the time in style with the new Digital Clock widget. Unlike the analog World Clock widget, this one displays a clean digital readout using a range of distinct clock fonts — from minimal to retro to bold.
Features
- Shows time in your local timezone or any chosen timezone
- Scalable — resize the widget to make it as prominent or compact as you like
🔗 Custom Link Icons
Link Bookmark widgets now support custom icons. Instead of a default favicon, you can set any icon from the Lucide icon library to identify your links at a glance. Perfect for giving your most important bookmarks a distinctive, consistent look.
🛢️ FuelWatch Widget Overhaul
The FuelWatch widget (Perth, Western Australia fuel prices) has been significantly reworked with an improved layout that shows more information clearly and handles different product types and stations more reliably.
⏱️ World Clock — Relative Timezone Difference
The World Clock widgets (both analog and digital) now display the relative timezone offset from your local time — e.g. "+5h" or "−3h". This makes it much easier to understand what time it is for someone in another timezone without mental arithmetic.
Other improvements in v1.3
- Art widget — moved to production and available to all users (previously in development mode)
- Tailwind CSS 4 — updated to the latest version of the utility-first CSS framework for faster builds
- Edit mode button — relocated and refined for cleaner dashboard management
- Widget sorting — the Add Widget modal now sorts widgets alphabetically for consistent discoverability
