I was able to play around with the Widget code on the trunk and it works great! Love the simplicity of the implementation.
I think making widgets available from SiteTree, along with a global widget area editor would be nice.
I know widget editor area is still brewing, so thought of sharing few suggestions to make it more sexy ;)
1. Widget Drag and Drop - Its better to highlight the drop target and create a new instance of drag object while keeping the original object intact. Look at this demo at mootools (http://demos.mootools.net/DragDrop).
2. Ability to configure each widget - I think this is essential. Users should be able to add configuration information using a simple configuration dialog. For example he should be able to configure FlickrWidget with tags, number of photos to show etc.
Thanks for the sample.
I was playing with the widgets on a custom theme and I found having a "container div" around the widget would be make styling much easier.
This could be done by changing WidgetHolder.ss to :
[html]
<div class="widgetHolder">
<h3>$Title</h3>
$Content
</div>
[/html]
Another option is to make the widget area as an unordered list.
