Add ability to customize # colums
-
Nice and an incremental improvement over the “new” interface. At least can scroll the two sections independently.
However, my beef with the “new” admin widget area isn’t that the two sections are flipped side-to-side (actually, that set makes it easier for me to edit, but only in the pre-3.8 setup).
My issue is that the responsive design can’t be turned off – I can only have two columns or four: two means the new widgets take up too much room, as other than seeing the titles, I don’t need them .. in fact, I’d prefer to just turn them off 99% of the time, as I am editing an existing widget, not adding new ones … which I would not be doing, if there were an easy way to just edit the content of the widget offline … and if that didn’t result in a degradation in speed for the page loading at the server end).
Instead, I would like a large “edit” area for the existing widgets. The old 3-column setup worked well, if sometimes a bit cramped. I’d like that back, with 1/2 the screen area for the ONE column of existing widgets – this would allow the edit box to be big enough that you can edit easily, without having to move to a separate editing program (which isn’t an option when not on the PC and kind of a pain when you are). the other half can be the new and inactive widgets (as before), although I’d even prefer a checkbox at the top to just hide both sections.
