Can the width of a single widget be increased?

Is there a way on a selected page to make a widget that is wider than widgets on any of the other pages so I can place more content into it? I want all the other widgets on the other pages to maintain their exact look and feel.

Thanks.

I think not because same class is controlling the rendering of all the widgets.

What if you simply want to design a static place to hold pics and info on a new template page, and instead of using a widget, you design something that looks exactly like a widget using code generated from Artisteer. Where could I get the code that is used to design my widgets so I can simply copy and paste the look and feel of them into my alternate page template?

Thank you!

You should export your design as website template, open page.html with an editor, copy the code which generates a block(widget), paste it in your sidebar1.php

Hi Garry,

1.) Why are you suggesting to paste the code into the sidebar1.php file? Wouldn't that affect my other pages? Would it be a better idea to create a new template and paste the code to design a widget there?

2.) I copied the code for creating a widget, though I think the design properties of it are coming from a CSS file. Is there a way to copy it and the necessary CSS into the new file?

Thanks.

Yes you can create a new template

Yes, you also need to adjust your style sheet accordingly
