A WDGT file may also be a component file used by Adobe Captivate, a multimedia publishing application often used to create eLearning products. It contains a pluggable module, or "widget," that can be inserted into Captivate projects (.CPTX files). WDGT files are used for creating reusable components, such as pie charts or input forms.
More Information
Widgets can be one of three types:
- Static: Non-interactive and meant to display information.

A WDGT file may also be an Opera widget, a lightweight web-based program designed to run on a user's desktop when using the Opera web browser, version 9 or later. It contains HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code that defines the widget's interface and behavior. WDGT files may also store settings, preferences, and content related to the widget's functionality, including user configurations, themes, or data fetched from web services (e.g., weather updates, stock prices, or news feeds).
More Information
Opera widgets are customizable, allowing you to add various features or tools directly to your desktop, such as weather updates, clocks, or news feeds. They run in the background and function similarly to apps on mobile devices, providing quick access to specific functions without needing to open a full browser. However, since widgets are tied to the Opera browser, they may not work with other browsers or outside of the Opera ecosystem.
How to open a WDGT file
You can open WDGT files with the Opera web browser. To add a widget to the Opera browser, look for the "Widgets" section, which is typically located in the sidebar or menu. If it's not visible, you can enable it through the browser settings. You can then drag and drop the WDGT file into the sidebar to add it.
