Saurik has released Cydget, an iPhone framework for lockscreen widgets.
Cydget provides a comprehensive replacement for WinterBoard Lock Widgets, allow developers and web designers to take control of the lock screen using either native code or HTML with JavaScript and Cycript, allowing flexible access to Objective-C.
Like WinterBoard Themes, Cydgets are configured using a reorderable list. Go to "Settings" then "Cydget" to activate, deactivate, and organize.
An example Cydget is included to demonstrate the technology: show a random pictue from your camera roll.
Cydget's Core Benefits - configuration allows HTML scrolling - multiple Cydgets can be rotated - they stop running when screen dims - Cycript embedding for library calls
You can download Cydget from Cydia now!

i downloaded " cydget" in cydia, everything seems ok, i saw a welcome message in the lock-screen. but when i go to " settings " i can not find " cydget " .can anybody tell me the reason?
Dear All,
If you cannot find cydget package itself, Kindly go to the Cydia - sections - cydget - and download any cydget from Modmyi.com repo.
the cydget is a dependency which it will auto detect and install for you.
i will write to bigboss repo admin to make Cydget package a dependency like Modmyi so that no-one is confused.
Let me know if you have further issues with this.
thanks and Best Regards

Give them time. This is just the framework that other developers can attach their widgets to. They need more than 24 hours to come up with something. ;-)
It will be nice to have something similar to IntelliScreen without all the associated problems of that app.
