To be frank, I never paid much attention to how widgets react
and behave in the workspace - so long as you can edit the UI.

This seems to have never been a problem until now, so yes - I
will personally take care of looking at it for sure, to the
extent of at least making it more usable - except I dont know
how long it will take me.

Cheers,
         -Tristan

PS:
If someone were to make a project of making widgets look
and behave better in the UI I have no objections, we also
still lack a proper preview feature...
