Dynamic side-by-side widgets #1420

Open iqnite opened 1 year ago

iqnite commented 1 year ago

Suggested new feature or improvement

Instead of having only side-by-side widgets, allow a more dynamic aligning, like the Start icons on Windows 10.

Scenario

For example, next to a large widget there could be 2 small widgets.

We are considering swapping out the WidgetBoard control we use for the StaggeredPanel control from the Community Toolkit, which I believe would result in a layout closer to what you're describing. Right now, the Dashboard can absolutely display two small widgets next to a large widget as you describe, but since each additional widget will always go to the next column, round-robin style, the widgets might not be placed in the way the user would expect.
