What is a .KWGT file?
A .KWGT file is a special type of file used on Android devices. It's made for creating or changing widgets on your phone or tablet's home screen. Widgets are little tools or shortcuts that display information or provide quick access to apps and settings without needing to open the app itself. The "KWGT" stands for Kustom Widget, which is a program called KWGT Kustom Widget Maker, often just called Kustom. This program lets you either make your own widget or change one that's already made.
Inside, a .KWGT file is like a box that holds everything needed for the widget to work. It's actually a .ZIP file, which means it's a collection of files bundled together to make them easier to share and move around. When you look inside this .ZIP, you'll find a .JSON file, which is a simple text file that tells the widget how to behave, and other files that are the widget's assets, like images or icons it uses.
To open a .KWGT file, you have a couple of options: 1. **On All Platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.):** You can change the file's extension from .KWGT to .zip. This doesn't change the file itself, just how your computer sees it. Once it's seen as a .zip file, you can use any program that opens .ZIP files to look inside. These programs are often called Zip-decompression utilities, and they let you see and take out the files inside the .zip.
2. **On Android Devices:** The best way to open and use a .KWGT file is with the KWGT Kustom Widget Maker app. This app is specifically designed to work with .KWGT files. It lets you either change the widget contained in the file to suit your needs or add it to your home screen as is.
Remember, .KWGT files are meant for customizing your Android device's look and functionality through widgets, and they require specific apps like KWGT Kustom Widget Maker to use them as intended.
