I would like to see the option to have the timer widget start as soon as the page is visited

It would be great if you could set default settings on the 'Timer' gallery item.
Such as: A default start time, default alarm sound etc.

It would be nice if they worked on smart learning suite.

I like how customizable they are! On the spinners, it would be great if you could bring back the option to make the color clear/translucent. and that it would still have a black outline, so that you could see the number of pies chosen. I used that option in the Flash spinners all the time. I was able to place clip art behind the spinners for even more options with the spinners. Now, with the change in the spinners, all the activities I made are unusable.

Widget settings - it's not intuitive to click on the gear when you're done editing various widget settings, such as with the dice, for example. Would be nice to have a "Save" or "Exit" or "Back" button to make it more clear.

I agree with Mike's comment that we need good HTML 5 replacements for Random Word/Image Chooser and Random Group Picker (text/image). Along those same lines, it would be nice if the Hat Pick and Buzzer from LAB could be independently available as Widgets.

The widgets are fabulous! It's awesome how customizable they are. I love how the timer has the option to ring a bell and then go on to the next page. Would be great to be able to adjust the default start time on the timer. The clock is awesome too! Great to be able to remove the second hand, switch to 24 hour clock, and manually adjust/pause/reset the hands.

Thanks for working on the "basic" items from the Toolkit. Teachers need all these!

Where? Where do I find these? Do I go to SMART exchange? Do these new widgets replace the flash items?
Update: Found them: Everyone they are in the Gallery. Just type in the one you want and they show up. I agree with +Mike, the spinner needs more segments. I would also hope to see the "Selector Hat" It has been nifty in Class Lab to have my students select the next person using the hat with a pre-generated Student list. Maybe this could be the replacement for the random word chooser that +Mike mentions.

Loving these as well. Need to think a little more on the whys of the clock relating to how I would use that in the classroom. But the rest are good.
The only one that I say is missing something and I have a request for is the spinner. The spinner needs to be able to handle more segments. I need to be able to type in all the kids in a class. Which then leads to a feature request, a list importer. But more segments is more important. I need a replacement for the random word chooser with the idea flash is going away.
