Layout

When widgets are available for a service, the button is present on the page to add the widget to the navigation page.

All the added widgets are placed on a shared grid, over the navigation page.

On this grid, widgets can be resized using the control which is placed at the bottom right of each widget. Each type of widget has a minimum and maxium size.

Widgets can also be moved on the grid. To move a widget, it has to be grabbed from the header and then moved.
