Saurik Releases Cydget iPhone Lockscreen Widgets Framework

Saurik has released Cydget, an iPhone framework for lockscreen widgets.

Cydget provides a comprehensive replacement for WinterBoard Lock Widgets, allow developers and web designers to take control of the lock screen using either native code or HTML with JavaScript and Cycript, allowing flexible access to Objective-C.

Like WinterBoard Themes, Cydgets are configured using a reorderable list. Go to “Settings” then “Cydget” to activate, deactivate, and organize.

An example Cydget is included to demonstrate the technology: show a random pictue from your camera roll.

Cydget’s Core Benefits
- configuration allows HTML scrolling
- multiple Cydgets can be rotated
- they stop running when screen dims
- Cycript embedding for library calls

You can download Cydget from Cydia now!
