How to display my widget data in left bottom corner of taskbar on Windows 11?

[steam3d]

I want to display data of my widget here:

I could not find any info about it.

Since that looks like the Weather widget, you should click Start, and type weather in your operating system's display language, then pin the application to Start.

Click Start once again, and drag the newly added widget to the position of your choice.

That is pretty much all there is to it.

Kind regards

@Yewzir I meant the Windows 11 widgets. You described the Windows 10 live tiles.

@Yewzir I have no idea why you are talking about the Start menu when I asked a question about Windows 11 widgets. Here is the screenshot of Windows 11. On the Widgets board, you can see the weather widget. This widget has the ability to deliver weather status to the small widget in the taskbar. I want to do the same with my widget.

Here is official documentation:

It does not mention how to achieve this.

Do you realize your title refers to the start panel to begin with?

@Yewzir my bad. I renamed it.

That's all good.

1. Right-click on the taskbar and select Taskbar settings.
2. In the Taskbar settings window, scroll down to the Taskbar items section.
3. Ensure that the Widgets toggle is turned on.
4. Click on the Widgets icon on the taskbar to open the widgets panel.
5. In the widgets panel, click on the three dots in the top-right corner of the weather widget.
6. Select Customize widget to set your preferences for the weather widget.
7. Once customized, close the widgets panel.
8. To move the widgets panel to the bottom left, you may need to rearrange other taskbar items. Drag the widgets icon towards the bottom left corner of the taskbar. If your taskbar items are centered, it should be no problem. Otherwise, you will have to go back to the Taskbar settings and ensure your Taskbar items are positioned anywhere but on the left.

@steam3d you can't. I saw the release notes of 1.6-experimental2 and there is a sentence:

New extensions enable Widget Providers to provide Widgets with web content and announcements for Widgets.

I'm not sure if announcements are exactly what you want but maybe this is a hint.
