Yahoo! Widget files belong to Yahoo! Widget, a desktop widget platform developed by Yahoo!. The software runs small applets that display information and provide frequently used functions directly on the desktop.
A .widget file is a widget package rather than a conventional document. It contains the applet's code and supporting resources, which the Yahoo! Widget Engine uses to install and display the widget.
Yahoo! Widget was released for multiple desktop platforms. The platform is no longer actively developed, but existing .widget files may still work with a compatible installation of Yahoo! Widget.
Open a .widget file with Yahoo! Widget. If the software is installed and associated with the extension, opening the file should install or launch the widget in the Yahoo! Widget Engine.
On Microsoft Windows, Amnesty Generator can also be used with compatible widget packages, particularly when preparing widgets for Yahoo! Widget.
A Yahoo! Widget file is an application package, so it normally has no useful document-conversion target. It should be used with Yahoo! Widget rather than converted to a standard document format.
On Microsoft Windows, Amnesty Generator can convert compatible widgets, including Apple Dashboard widgets, for use with Yahoo! Widget.

HybridJava widget files contain the definition of a widget in HybridJava language. The language combines HTML markup and Java code in one syntax, allowing the widget's presentation and behavior to be described together.
The files are associated with the multiplatform HybridJava software. They form part of a HybridJava project rather than being general-purpose HTML or Java files.
On Microsoft Windows, Amnesty Generator is also associated with this file type. The format is specific to the HybridJava software and is not a general interchange format.
Open a .widget file with HybridJava on a supported platform. It is best opened as part of the relevant HybridJava project so that its HTML and Java elements can be processed correctly.
On Microsoft Windows, Amnesty Generator can also be used with HybridJava widget files.
