Hi,

I have a single widget (Network Usage Monitor) installed to use with MS Windows 11.

I've moved the location of the widget to show in the top-right of screen, but the box containing the widget comes with a lot of unused real-estate and wastes good monitor space.

Is there a way of resizing the pop-up box to just show my desired widget? Or am I stuck with what is shown in the attached screenshot?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, SnickoPen.

As far as I know, the current widget board is not resizable.

I'm on the Windows 11 Release Preview channel, and have Windows 11 24H2 Build 26100.4484 and Widget Board 525.16000.0.0, and I can't see any way of changing the size.

Hi, SnickoPen.

Thanks for that Stigg. I couldn't see anything when I was messing around either, but I decided to reach out, because it wouldn't be the first time I wrote something off as impossible only because of my shortsightedness!!!
