Is it possible to add an image widget with buttons on it?

I want to add an image with buttons on it. I have the code and everything is ready to change how I add it. I'm new to dart.

It's not possible to add it to Elastic without modifying the source code yourself. There have been requests to add plugin support, but it's not currently planned because it adds a lot of complexity and maintenance burden to the app.

What many people have done (and what I encourage) is to fork the repository and add your own custom widgets to it. For example, this team distributes their own version of Elastic with custom widgets: https://github.com/Demacia5635/Elastic_Dashboard-Demacia_Widgets

As for adding it, you would have to modify this file here to register your widget in the app: https://github.com/Gold872/elastic-dashboard/blob/main/lib/services/nt_widget_builder.dart

First of all thank you and I know demacia form Israel they are our closest team friend. They basically help us do everything in their programming.
But I’m just not sure how to code in flatter so I asked here. Maybe you have already created one that I can look at and make similar.

I already have it open the files and everything that started to work on it, but it’s not working. I just got like a blue rectangle with an X on it for some reason.

Demacia are just the best when it comes to programming,

If you're interested in learning Flutter, I'd recommend this tutorial by Google, which is how I learned to program with Flutter. It also teaches a similar architecture to what Elastic uses: https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/flutter-codelab-first

As for the widget itself, I haven't made an image with buttons on it, but what I would do is use a stack with an image on the bottom, and several gesture detector buttons wrapped in positioned widgets. Some people have modified Elastic with their own Reef widgets which could also be a good source of inspiration. You can look through the different forks of this repository and see which have a custom Reef implementation (Demacia might have one I can't exactly remember)

this is a feature that personally still interests me to implement, and once my arm heals i might work on it
