Sensor - Sensor for the battery voltage to use.
Color - Opens the color picker to choose the color for the text.
Shadow - When enabled, adds a shadow to the text.
LowestCell - When enabled, shows only the voltage of the lowest cell (vs. showing all cell voltages).

text_color - Opens the color picker to choose the color for the text.
debug - When enabled, shows status information on the widget.
Additional notes regarding this widget:
The flight is considered successful if after 30sec the engine is above 25%, telemetry is active (to indicated that the model connected), and safe switch ON. The flight is considered ended after 8 seconds of battery disconnection (detected by no telemetry) -- warning: do NOT use this widget if model is using GV9!!!
The widget assumes the following: the model has a motor, the motor is activated on channel 3 (can be configured in settings), there is telemetry with one of the above [RSSI|RxBt|A1|A2|1RSS|2RSS|RQly], there is a safe switch (arm switch), and global variable GV9 is free (i.e. not used).
Gauge Rotary - a configurable analog style gauge with a needle. Also shows the minimum and maximum values that were read by the gauge with green and red needles. The configurable options are:
Source - Source for the gauge.
Min - The minimum (lowest) gauge value.
Max - The maximum (highest) gauge value.
HighasGreen - Enable for a sensor where high values are good. Disable for sensor where low values are good.
Precision - The precision of the number value to display in decimals.
Ghost- The Ghost widget will display RF receiver or video transmitter telemetry data based on the mode that is configured.
In normal mode, the widget provides RF Mode (RFMD), Frame Rate (FRATE), Link Quality (RQLY), and Transmit Power (TPWR)
In video mode, the widget provides Video Band (VBAN), Video Frequency (VFRQ), Video channel (VCHAN), and Video Power (VPWR)
LibGUI Demo - This widget is a demo for the LibGUI library. This library is not normally run by itself. Instead, it provides interactive functions to other Lua scripts that use it. The widget must be run in full-screen mode to demo the library's functionality.
SOARETX - The EdgeTX version of the SoarOTX tool. It is a package of sailplane models for EdgeTX transmitters. It provides Lua scripts for timing and scorekeeping, graphing of log data (e.g. altitude graphs), and model configuration.
For more information about the configuration and use of this widget please see https://github.com/jfrickmann/SoarOTX/wiki/SoarETX-for-color-radios.

The Screen settings section of EdgeTX is where you can customize your main views and add additional views. When selecting Screen Settings from the main navigation menu it will open Main view 1. If other main views have been added, you may select them from the number tab at the top of the screen to adjust their settings. All main view tabs have the following configuration options and are configured individually:

Setup Widgets - see Setting up widgets below.
Top bar - Toggles whether the top widget bar will be visible on the selected main view.
Flight mode - Toggles whether the flight mode name (if configured) will be visible on the selected main view.
Sliders - Toggles whether the slider bars will be visible on the selected main view.
Trims - Toggles whether the trim bars will be visible on the selected main view.
