Fields

Required

• data-id: Like all widgets, you must include an identifier so that your jobs can update the value.
• data-cool: Anything below this value will show the 'cold' colour. It should be set high enough to include all the 'good' range of value for this metric.
• data-warm: Anything above this value will show the 'hot' colour. It should be set just below the 'bad' range of value for this metric - ie. those that need attention!

Not Required

• data-title: Optional title to show in the widget box (above the value).
• data-prefix: Optional prefix to the value.
• data-suffix: Optional suffix to the value.

Colors

The default colour scheme is Sweet Lolly by nekyo.
