Q: How can I change / determine the size/dimensions of my widget?

A: Widget size is based on the size of the images uploaded. Whatever size images are uploaded, that will be the size of the widget. There is a max upload file size for the images. The default is a little over 19 KB (20000 bytes).

Q: For the three main images I upload to make the widget, do I upload images for 0%, 50% and 100% complete?

A: No, upload images that show 0%, 100%, and 101%. The first two images are used to determine how the image will fill from left to right or bottom to top. The last image will only be displayed once the goal is met or exceeded.

Q: What is the Marker Image and is it required?

A: The Maker Image is an image that is at the level of the current progress to mark the progress, such as an arrow on a thermometer. It is not required.

Q: Can I change where the friend of the constituent goes when he/she clicks on the constituent's widget?

A: No.

Q: Can I create a widget that doesn't fill but instead has just a marker that moves as the goal is approached? For example, I'd like to show a street that is filled the whole time but has a runner running from left to right.

A: Yes, for the 0%, 100%, and 101% upload the same picture, in this example the street. Then for the Marker Image upload the image you want to move as the goal is approached, in this example the runner.

Q: Can widgets be tied to Donation Classic forms?

A: No.
