I did something similar to what you are describing without making a
widget. I was storing the Shoes objects in class attributes of an
outside class, but did all the creating and storing of these objects
from within the Shoes.app block. For my application this was a pretty
clean approach. If this would be messy for yours, then perhaps a
widget is the way to go.

I'm trying to make a class that has an array of paras, stacks, or
some other Shoes object. Then, I want to instantiate that class
from the file that contains Shoes.app and append those elements to a
slot therein. I'm having a difficult time figuring out how to get
my class to recognize the shoes objects and methods. I've tried
requiring different shoes source files and using the $app variable
found in the expert-tankspank.rb sample (is $app part of the Ruby
language or is it a Shoes construct?). How do you use shoes
elements in your classes outside of the main Shoes.app file?
I'm so very confused. Halp!
Thanks!
