While in Edit Mode, a gadget can be moved by clicking on its header (the area where the gadget name and toolbar options are located) and dragging the gadget to its new location. The gadget will remain positioned exactly where it is dropped and will not "snap" to any pre-defined column or row locations.
Gadgets cannot be placed outside of the dashboard's white canvas area. If more space is needed at the bottom of the dashboard, the canvas can be resized by clicking and dragging the gray resize bar that appears while in Edit Mode. The canvas will snap to efficiently fit the new gadget layout when Edit Mode is turned off.
Gadgets can be resized to any dimensions as long as they fit within the confines of the dashboard itself.
