###Manually open If you want to control when the widget opens, you can use the manualOpen property and then the open function.

var updateInfo = Alloy.createWidget("edu.uwm.updateInfo", {
	data: {
		version: "1.0.1",
		ios: "https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/your-app/id000000000",
		android: "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=your.app.id",
		description: "Some very important features were added."
	},
	properties: {
		manualOpen: true
	}
});
updateInfo.open();

###Styling on creation If you want to provide custom styling, you can do so on creation.

Alloy.createWidget("edu.uwm.updateInfo", {
	data: {
		version: "1.0.1",
		ios: "https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/your-app/id000000000",
		android: "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=your.app.id",
		description: "Some very important features were added."
	},
	properties: {
		window: {
			backgroundColor: "#FFF"
		},
		topContainer: {
			backgroundColor: "#3F51B5"
		},
		labels: {
			color: "#000"
		},
		topLabels: {
			color: "#FFF"
		},
		button: {
			backgroundColor: "#FF4081",
			color: "#FFF"
		}
	}
});

		topContainer: {
			backgroundColor: "#3F51B5"

		labels: {
			color: "#000"
		},
		topLabels: {
			color: "#FFF"

		button: {
			backgroundColor: "#FF4081",

	});
