Custom SmartDashboard Widget Repository

We just started using SmartDashboard this year. I really like how easy it is to display data on the screen - what I wish was better was the selection of widget types. I'd love to have access to boolean indicators that change color based on variable state (much like the connection widget), vertical sliders we could use to mimic vertical lift commanded and actual positions, etc. I know teams can create custom widgets; however, I am not a Java programmer and would not know how to create them on my own.

I bet many teams have created useful widgets for SmartDashboard. I was wondering if they'd be willing to share them (or links to them) in this thread, along with explanations as to what they do. What would especially be useful to the community would be widgets that are "universal" - not specific to a particular robot or FRC game.

Thanks in advance!
