Widget Layouts

Set images for the buttons in the Images input, and set the labels in the Texts input.

Tutorial on how to create a buttons list here

Media

A media-player-like widget with a big image on the left, some text at the top and some control buttons at the bottom. You can use this for media but also for any functionality you like.

The first image you set in the Images input will be used for the big image on the left. The rest of the images will be used for the buttons on the bottom.

The Title will be used as the top text while the Texts will be used as bottom texts.

Circular Image

A simple image with a circular cutout.

Table

A list of rows that will be structured like a table

Each Cell in the table can contain either an image or a text but not both.

To get a table with 2 rows, with 3 images at the top and 3 texts at the bottom you would set:

• Images: image1.png,image2.png,image3.png
• Texts: ,,,text 1, text 2, text 3

Notice how the first 3 texts were left empty to accomodate for the 3 cells in which texts aren't used.

Custom

Any layout you want! 😁 You can infinitely customize the layout exactly to your liking!
