In this part of the video, the creator focuses on creating music widgets using KWGT. They announce that this is episode 5 of their KWGT tutorial series, which has covered various types of widgets in previous episodes.

In this part of the video, the focus is on configuring music controls by specifying play and pause functionalities. The backdrop setup is finalized, and next and previous buttons are added using font icons. These icons are positioned at the bottom right of the album cover and assigned appropriate actions—next and previous. Text items for media title and artist name are added, resized, and repositioned at the bottom of the widget, with instructions to save the changes.
Moving to the second widget with a contemporary shape, a square shape is loaded and assigned to the album, followed by a rectangle shape that is enlarged, rounded off at the corners, and colored using a radial gradient effect. The rectangle is then moved to the back of the widget. Next and back buttons are added again using font icons with texture settings changed to bitmap for a vintage look. Both buttons are assigned music controls. Finally, a media progress bar is added and repositioned at the bottom of the widget.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses how to customize the progress bar to fit with the overall look of the widget. They first change the foreground (fg) color settings and then round off the edges by adding a new shape—a rectangle—resized to match the media progress bar’s dimensions. The rectangle is positioned over the progress bar, which is then brought to the front by adjusting the item list order. The presenter changes the progress bar filter to multiply, ensuring visibility only where it overlaps with the rectangle. They also switch the progress type from battery default to music playtime. Finally, the presenter mentions that additional stylistic music widgets will be covered in a follow-up episode and encourages viewers to like, subscribe, and check out other customization videos.
