Frequently asked questions
How do I move an Astal setup?
Copy your widget project files plus the config to matching paths. Libraries resolve from install tree. Keep versions aligned between machines.
Widgets broke after moving. Why?
Check the widget source plus library paths first. Missing modules usually mean the install prefix changed. Repoint imports after moving.
