Yes it can but I think it will highly depend on the addon itself. I did manage to add widgets from IAGL (Internet archive game launcher addon). Give me an addon you have in mind. I can do a test for you.

For testing purposes I have created widgets on the homescreen from Youtube addon. I hope this answers your question

Welcome 
sorry for my questions, but is there a home menu building settings within the skin settings? were you can entrances on the home menu and add widgets to the home menu? (similar to aura and arctic zephyr). so you can build your menus with the remote control from your shield tv.

or do you need to go in the backbone data files with a text editor to do so?

You do this from within Kodi in the skin settings no need editing XML files
Steps
>Go to "Settings"
>"Skin"
>"Home Menu"
>"Customize main menu"
>You can add a new menu item for this addon (the one you want to create widgets for) and its widgets or use an existing menu. In my screenshot above I used an existing menu called progams.
>"Set type of widgets" for the menu item you added or selected above.
>"Widgets to personalize"
>Select "Lists (upto 8 items)" I find it better than "Vertical panel (1 item)
>Give it a name
>Click on "Select widget 1" just below the new name you created above
>Scroll down the list until you find "Add-on >"
>Choose from "Program>" or from  "Video add-on>" etc depending on what type of addon you want to create the widget for. The Youtube addon for example is a video addon so I selected Video add-on. If your addon is a music addon select Music add-on instead.
>You will find a list of addons you have installed, select the one you want to create widgets for
>You will find a list of possible widgets from this addon.
>To use all of them select click the plus sign "+ use as Widget".

Anyone here know how to make the Main Menu into Netflix style - i.e. when Main Menu is focused, it expands to icon + text from just icons on the side?

this will be the finishing touch

My response may not be exactly what you are looking for but try these settings see if you like them.
> Go to skin settings 
>Home Menu
>Turn on "Minimize main menu"
>Turn on "Show item label on top"
This will minimize the menu to just icons, when focused the menu text will show at the top not at the side as you wanted.

Thanks, but not exactly what I was looking for.

Hello.

I wanna create a widget on homescreen, that shows all files from a specific folder. But i can't find the right widget for that.

For example:

I added D:\Movies to videosources. I found the widget to add it.
But i want that the widget shows only files from D:\Movies\Subfolder.
I don't want to add D:\Movies\Subfolder to videosources, too. It makes no sense for me, because of D:\Movies is already there.
Is it possible with custom entrys? What code do i need?

Sorry for my bad english, i hope you understand what i mean.

I had the same problem.

This skin uses script.skin.helper.widgets to get recently added, in progress and such widgets.

If you could set smart playlists as widgets your problem would be solved. 

I've sent some PR to include "path" as a filter and edit my widgets links to include this filter. It works like a charm.

Hope it helps you

Defined as posters.

And if i go the other way:
Adding D:\Movies\Subfolder to library, the widget shows cropped posters with filename text under the cropped poster.
The widget recent movies works. The posters are full sized.
