It would be nice if there was a widget where a value or status can be displayed with a color (gradient). Something like the Light widget. ![Screenshot_20241106_212750_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/7/87d0ebc8c1c9e682ec3a81d69f38b62bc8ce55e6.jpeg) I have a status of Homey calculated based on a number of values ​​of the sysinternals app. This is now shown in a text variable but that is not really nice. ---

Something like the [Enhanced Device Widget](https://community.homey.app/t/117835)? ![1000037366](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/2/d24d50262d2c50f2504f411203f2049f60e78dc2.jpeg) You can use an [advanced virtual device](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-advanced-virtual-device-device-capabilities-app-with-unique-text-status-indicator/68198) to display a [Better Logic](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-better-logic-library-for-users/71876) variable’s value as a color bar, without needing a flow. Of course a calculation has to be in place to match the color range ![1000037364](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/d/1d5f5edd7e2c0a2ef20a8561d6ab0a5365ffab49.jpeg) In order to display a standard variable’s value as color you’ll need an accompanying flow. ---

Yes, already tried the AVD widget, it is an option but it is not visual what i am looking for. To many space, to little color. ---
