<p>Lets make widgets better. This plugin moves your wigdet areas (some call them sidebars) to the left, making them the focus of the screen. The list of available widgets now lives on the right. Available widgets are contained in their own scrollable div, helping resolve the age-old problem of scrolling and dragging. And widgets get some icons!</p>
<p>Your active widgets get a little love, too. Saving a widget no closes the controls, and you’ll get some feedback that your widget has saved.</p>
<p>This plugin is under active development and may break some things. Also, its not very friendly across various screen sizes, yet.</p>


Better Widgets

Make it easier to manage your site's widgets.
