This widget is based on the standard Dashing Text widget. It adds a status management between three basic states : OK, ERROR and INFORMATION. The widget background, image and color, changes with the state.
With this widget, you can display the status of a single system. It can be used for servers, sites, etc. It lets you build status dashboards with a single system per tile. The widget will fade to green if the status is OK, red if ERROR, blue if INFORMATION. You can customize the text displayed and change it dynamically.
If you refer to the thumbnail, you'll see an example.
