MDW - Mudlet Dockable Widgets

MDW gives your Mudlet profile a custom sidebar UI. Create widget panels for vitals, inventory, communication channels, the mapper, or anything else you want to track at a glance. Drag widgets between left and right sidebars, place them side-by-side, stack them vertically, combine them into tabbed groups, or float them freely over the main display. Layouts persist across reloads. Game packages build on it through a seed-table integration contract, from widgets and prompt-bar gauges to context menus and scripted control.
