The files that @olir attached are exported custom widget files.

To import the widget:  
-Find the settings menu for habpanel.  
-Click the button “Custom Widgets” → “Manage”  
-Click the button “Import”  
-Find the file that you downloaded and click “OK”

To use the widget (“5xLight” in this example):  
-Go to the panel you want to add the widget.  
-Put the panel in edit mode.  
-Click “+Widget” in the top right.  
-Down at the bottom you should see “5xLight”  
-Once you add it, you must change the settings for the widget to assign the item that you want to change.

I hope this helps!

@olir could you add some screenshots to your original post so it appears nicely in the new widget gallery?
