Find a widget setting

Find where each setting of a Blocky widget lives in the editor, from the shared controls in the Settings panel to the Inputs and Parts of each Widget type.

Every setting of a widget is in the Settings panel of the editor, on the right. The panel shows the settings of what you select in the Elements panel: the whole widget, an Element, or a Part.

Settings that every widget shares

The Settings panel sorts the settings into three tabs: Layout, Appearance, and Inputs. Most controls in Layout and Appearance are the same in every widget, such as Size, Arrange, Colors, Corners, Borders, Effects, and Font. The settings page explains each shared control, how a Part override works, and how to reset styles.

Settings that depend on the Widget type

Two kinds of settings differ from one Widget type to the next:

  • Inputs holds the values that the widget works with, such as the Focus time of a Pomodoro timer or the Data source of a chart. Only the widget has this tab, and only when its Widget type has inputs.
  • The Elements and the Parts of the Widget type have their own settings, such as Pulse while running on the Stopwatch Element of a Stopwatch.

The category pages list the templates, the Inputs, and the Parts of each Widget type:

Settings outside the Settings panel

  • The Template menu, Import code, and Embed background are in the header of the editor. Switch templates and import codes explains them.
  • The Elements of the widget, and whether each one is shown, are in the Elements panel. Work with Elements explains it.
  • For charts, quotes, and flashcards, the Notion database and its properties are in the Data source of the Inputs tab. Connect Notion data to widgets explains the Notion steps.
