[Help] Widget app - not KWGT
Does anyone know if there are dedicated simple widget apps which allow you to add widgets the normal way without having to use KWGT?
For example, say I want a battery indicator widget, date widget, time widget, and maybe text widget or search widgets, but I want a simple drag, drop, resize using the handles and then adjust a few settings like text colour, background colour, transparency etc like a regular widget.
I really HATE all those layers in KWGT and keep adjusting the wrong things. And I don't want to have to watch a million YouTube videos to learn KWGT just to add a simple widget.
Thanks in advance.

There is NOTHING that comes close to KWGT. Anything else is either total trash or no longer developed or not compatible with newer android versions like pie and Q
I don't understand why you can't just use a KWGT preset so all the colour/text/transparency is already done for you? I've personally been using KWGT for close to two years and I don't have a clue about the KWGT editor. I've NEVER had to adjust anything yet on any widget I've used, and I still don't know how to do so even to this day and I don't want to know how to do it, because I'm happy to use it that way. I've never watched any videos or looked at any tutorials either - So I don't understand why you need to get all annoyed about you tube videos - because to put it bluntly you don't need to watch anything, it's totally unnecessary.
Just find a good preset and use it, if you can't find one just tell people what sort of thing you are looking for and people will help you choose by making some helpful suggestions - you won't know unless you ask. r/Kustom is a great place to ask stuff.
If someone like me (who is close to 50 years old and not so technically minded like today's younger generation) can cope with and manage setting a KWGT without going into the editor and not even touching it, I'm sure you can.
If you really insist on not wanting to use KWGT then I cannot suggest anything else remotely as good because there simply isn't anything out there worth even considering.
