Main Action

Declare a custom Layout for your Widget. This Layout will be used whenever possible, otherwise HELIO will use the Magic Layout as a fallback. Be aware that this feature is still in Beta, so please use it with caution!

This custom layout has the highest priority. If there is not enough space or the layout does not match the number of elements, the best-fitting alterative layout will be automatically applied.
