A handcrafted widget pack designed for HTWind, the HTML-based desktop widget manager for Windows.
This pack combines system utilities, productivity helpers, and visual tools in a cohesive cyber-terminal style inspired by the Lain aesthetic. It is built to run as standalone HTML widgets while fitting naturally into HTWind's desktop workflow, including quick PowerShell-powered actions where supported by your HTWind setup.
HTWind lets you pin custom HTML widgets directly to your desktop and optionally connect them to PowerShell for fast system interactions.
This widget pack is focused on:
- A consistent retro-terminal visual language
- Practical day-to-day desktop utilities
- Lightweight, file-based distribution (no build pipeline)
- Easy customization by editing plain HTML/CSS/JS
This pack currently contains 23 widgets:

- HTWind-ready widget pack for desktop composition
- Aesthetic consistency across all included widgets
- System helper coverage (files, processes, memory, network, time)
- Productivity utilities (launcher, quick links, clipboard, text editor)
- Media and visual extras (visualizers and media controls)
- PowerShell workflow compatibility for quick command-driven actions (through HTWind host integration)
- Download or clone this repository.
- Keep all files in the same folder (including
screenshot.png). - Import/add the HTML files into your HTWind widget manager.
- Position and resize widgets on your desktop layout.
- Each widget is a standalone HTML entry, so you can load only what you need.
- You can customize visual style and behavior directly in each file.
- For PowerShell-backed functionality, ensure your HTWind host configuration is enabled and allowed to execute commands.
- Network/weather/media widgets may require your host environment to expose the expected data sources or permissions.
You can adapt this pack quickly by editing:
- Styling: color tokens, typography, glow/noise effects in each widget
- Layout: panel dimensions, spacing, and responsive behavior
- Behavior: JavaScript event handlers, command payloads, and data rendering
A recommended workflow:
- Duplicate a widget file.
- Rename it for your variant (for example
system-monitor-alt.html). - Update CSS variables and component labels first.
- Then refine logic and host integration hooks.
