CSS_PATH is missing in Widget

[mzebrak]

I think it will be very useful if CSS_PATH could be usable in Widget instances also, like it is already available in e.g App or Screen.

You could use live css to create advanced widgets. And I think it would be consistent in general.

This also allows you to make a choice. For example, in our application we try to separate the entire CSS into files - so we have created an appropriate function for this, which is simple and with the oneliner call it searches for a specific CSS file, reads its content and allows it to be inserted into DEFAULT_CSS like DEFAULT_CSS = get_relative_css(__file__). But this means that we are not able to use live reloading for such widgets (could be still workaround by working on the CSS file given in the Screen CSS_PATH).
