Light Switch Widget

Whis this widget I wanted to create a solution to quickly en-/disable the LCD backlight and even change the brightness.
In addition it shows the lock status with the option to personalize the lock icon with a tiny image.

---

Control

---

• On / off
  Single touch the widget to en-/disable the backlight.
• Change brightness (can be disabled)
  First touch the widget, then quickly touch the screen again and drag up/down until you reach your wished brigthness.
• Double tap to flash backlight (can be disabled)
  By defaut you can double tap on the right side of your bangle to flash the backlight for a short duration.
  (While the backlight is active your bangle will be unlocked.)
• Double tap to unlock (disabled by default)
  If a side is defined in the app settings, your bangle will be unlocked if you double tap on that side.

To do list

• Catch the touch and draw input related to this widget to prevent actions in the active app.
