Everyday controls
The widget header provides its title and dashboard controls. Depending on the widget, these can include refresh, full-screen, hide-controls and hide-title buttons. Content-specific controls remain inside the widget.

Useful advice
Good to know

If it does not work
- Refresh the individual widget first.
- Confirm its settings are complete and still saved.
- For connected data, test the provider or private address from HomeStart.
- Temporarily make the widget larger to reveal clipped controls or messages.
