Edit the Widths of Gadgets on iGoogle

Did you know that you can change the widths of your gadgets on iGoogle?  To do this, click the down arrow to the right of one of your tabs and then select “Edit this tab” from the drop down menu.  You should now see this window:

Edit this tab window on iGoogle

This is making me think that I should add an option to the Tree Frog, Fish, Spider, etc. that lets the user set the height of the gadget.  You could then fill one whole tab with one gadget or you could make some small square gadgets with the four column configuration.

    I did NOT know this…and my life is better for it!
    I have 7 google tabs (5 have an abowman gadget) and this made organizing them MUCH better.
    I’m a huge fan, keep up the great work!!

    I’ve also discovered you can have a different theme for each tab. Not too shabby.

    an option that allows the user to set the height/size of the gadget would be great. Great work so far! I love these gadgets…
