How to Setup Widgets:

When powering on and launching iCUE, the XENEON EDGE tile will appear. From here there are many things you can do.

1 Home Screen Initial Notification

From the home screen, you will select the XENEON EDGE Pane and clicking on the “+” to add a new widget to your selected page of widgets. You can move between pages by clicking the numbers below the layout.

You can now select the widget that you would like to add to the page on the left hand side. You can select various options for the selected widget in the center pane. If you widget has secondary options or requires cropping of images, there will be additional options on the right pane.

After completing the setup, you’ll be able to choose from a variety of widgets. Here’s an overview of each widget and what it does!

Media Widget

The Media Widget in iCUE is all about personalization. Whether you want to showcase your favorite game clips, set a relaxing wallpaper, or highlight epic moments, this widget can do it.

Supported File Types:

  • Images and Icons: .ico, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .bmp
  • Videos: .mp4, .avi, .mov, .mpeg, .webm

You can easily choose images or videos directly from the Image/Video Select panel, making it simple to pick what you want to showcase. Switching between images and videos is effortless. There are no limits on file size or length, so if you love it, go ahead and share it.

iFrame Widget

Why switch screens when you can have everything in one place? The iFrame Widget lets you embed web content directly onto your Xeneon Edge display. From live stats and maps to your favorite forums, the possibilities are endless.

How It Works:

An iFrame (inline frame) allows you to embed parts of a web page into your dashboard without opening a separate browser. With the iFrame Widget, you can paste full iFrame code and interact with the content right on your screen.

A neat implementation of this can be by embedding pomodoro timer to your XENEON EDGE, so you can have a dedicated timer while you work!

Note: Some websites might restrict iFrame displays due to security policies. If a site doesn’t load, it’s not your XENEON EDGE, it’s the website.
