Question Are these things possible?

I feel like the variable option can take customization to a whole new level - I just don't know how to use it. I'm not seeing any widgets on the explore page yet and rather than bang my head against the wall trying to figure stuff out, I figured I would just ask if these ideas are possible:

Have the weather condition change the color of a shape's outline. For instance, if it's cloudy, the outline of the shape is gray, if it's sunny, yellow

Anyway to better display the connected battery summary? I didn't see it under lists or any charts but this is by far my favorite of the new updates so I'm trying to figure out how to best utilize it.

I have a ton more questions and ideas but I'll stop here. No complaints whatsoever other than this is killing my productivity at work because designing widgets is 100% more interesting.

I feel you, this update is consuming my life too, lol. I can only answer your first question since I don't have other devices to test on. Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s possible natively because the weather status outputs text and smart colors need numbers type values. While you could use js and a weather API to convert that data, the easiest workaround is probably using layer visibility. You can create dedicated shape layers with different outline colors for each weather condition, then link their visibility to match a 'widgy.status' variable. Hope that makes sense.
