Widgets are important in the Android ecosystem for managing various tasks, with widget stacks introduced by Samsung in One UI 5 in 2022. Pixel device users lack this feature, but a workaround using the Smartspacer app allows them to achieve similar functionality. Widget stacks enable users to combine multiple widgets into a scrollable unit on their home screens, maintaining a clean aesthetic while displaying more information. Smartspacer enhances the At a Glance widget by allowing extensive customization and introducing the Expanded Smartspace feature, which provides access to a curated list of selected widgets. Users must download Shizuku and adjust developer settings to use Expanded Smartspace, allowing customization of features like search box inclusion and lock screen access. Smartspacer also allows users to prioritize items in the At a Glance widget and introduces complications for persistent visibility of essential information. The At a Glance widget has become more useful with Smartspacer, transforming from a static feature to an essential tool for Pixel users.
