sizing your custom smartUI widgets

Hi,

I've observed that widgets in smart UI seem to be tethered to one or two sizes - either defined as type 'tile' which gives you a small amount of real-estate, or type 'fullpage' which takes up the full page. I'm looking for something inbetween - i.e. the equivalent of two tiles wide, but less than the full page. Is this even possible in smartUI? So far, nothing I do within my widget's stylesheet seems to affect the size of the widget container, only changing the widget type in the manifest does.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

There is also the "header" type which is two tiles wide. The supported manifest options are:

"kind": "header",

"supportedKinds": ["tile", "header", "fullpage"],

The "kind" value gives your widget its default. The "supportedKinds" list allows you to let the user choose different sizes if needed. There is a dropdown in the widget options pane in the Perspective Manager for this.

Thanks for this Ian. I suspected there were others. I will try out header. In the meantime, the widget I was building I managed to shrink it to fit within a tile.
