Plugins can be installed and managed directly from the Marketplace within MoBro. Once installed, you can check all your plugins in the Plugins section. From here, you can view detailed information, including metrics provided by each plugin along with their current values.

Configuring Plugin Settings​

Most plugins provide configurable settings, and some might even require setup before use. You can access plugin settings via the three-dot menu (⋮) in the Plugins section.

For example, the OpenWeather plugin requires both an API key and a city name to fetch weather data. It also allows you to customize options such as update frequency and the icon set for the weather display.

Handling Errors​
