[HELP] Beginner trying to make a variable app widget

Hi all! I’m a beginner at Kustom, but pretty used to ricing.

I have quite a few apps on my phone that I only use in very specific locations / cities / countries, and would like to make a widget that can show me a given set of apps depending on where I am.

I downloaded and paid for KLGT Pro and Tasker, and I already use Nove Launcher Pro on Android 15 (Pixel 8 phone). I’m now wondering what approach I should take to achieve my goals.

From what ChatGPT said and what I saw, I should make a Tasker Job that will, depending on my location, change a set of variable names to what I want (i.e. com.whatsapp), and then in KLGT make a widget that uses those variables to set icons and app launch actions to the apps.

Is this the best approach? Is there a way to use Nova to directly add an app to the widget?

Additionally, while playing around, I was wondering how I was supposed to use the system color scheme. I have system colors that change with the background, and when setting a color with $si(sysca1, XX)$, I don’t know how to set the default value for the shade level, as I want just the ‘normal’ one.

Hope this is not already answered somewhere else I coundn’t find…

In most cases, it’ll be better to avoid 3rd party apps if you can. You can already detect your current location with the native formula: $li()$, why don’t you use that to hide/show a group element in your widget?
