 This shield requires that an `&nice_view_spi` labeled SPI bus is provided with _at least_ MOSI, SCK, and CS pins defined.
 
+## Custom widget
+
+The nice!view shield includes a custom vertical widget.
+
+Profile indicators show the status of the first five BLE profiles using numbers from 1 to 5.
+The number corresponding to the currently selected profile is drawn in a filled disk
+and the circle outline around each profile number correspond to the following states:
+
+- solid outline: connected
+- dashed outline: not connected
+- no outline: not bound
