Hildon-Extras is a set of community-contributed widgets (that's GTK+ widgets, not Desktop widgets) and dialogs that can be used by application developers to provide a usable, well-balanced interface. Some of these widgets provide functionality that the "stock" Hildon widgets don't provide, and some dialogs are touch-friendly versions of existing dialogs in GTK+ and/or Hildon.

HeAboutDialog
The HeAboutDialog is a replacement for GtkAboutDialog and provides a finger-friendly, good-looking about dialog with optional buttons for:
- Project website
- Bug tracker ("Enter new bug")
- Donations page
If you are writing a Python application, you might be interested in the Python port of HeAboutDialog: Download about.py
HeCheckButton
HeCheckButton is a check button with primary and secondary labels. The standard HildonCheckButton supports only one label.
HeFullscreenButton
HeFullscreenButton is a button to leave full screen mode. It is visible after the user touched the screen or pressed a key and it vanishes after 5 seconds of inactivity.
HeSimpleColorDialog
This dialog provides a finger-friendly, limited list of colors (a Tango-ish color palette) for the user to choose from. Especially useful when the color selection does not have to be "that special shade of green" but rather "a nice green" (for example to colorize categories or items).
Example code and use cases:
- MaePad uses it for coloring the text of checklist items and for the color in sketches (src/ui/callbacks.c)
HeColorDialog
Let the user select a color by selecting the intensity of the red, green and blue channel. Also provides hex input/output of the color.
HeFontDialog
Lets the user choose a font together with a font size. It also offers bold and italic styles.
HeColorButton
On tapping the HeColorButton opens the HeColorDialog and lets the user select a color. This color is then displayed on the HeColorButton.
HeFontButton
On tapping the HeFontButton displays a HeFontDialog that lets the user select a font. The selected font is then displayed on the HeFontButton.
