Gadget configuration should slide down between the gadget title and content. The gadget should live preview.

Anonymous (not verified) commented@drumm - help me out with these requirements.
1) You are saying the gadget configuration should slide down between the title and content. How were you envisioning the configuration options to work? We are using nodes and blocks right now, and I am trying to think through what options could be made available to users.
2) The live preview - this just means the widget will referesh when different options are selected, correct?

drumm1) The options will ideally not need too much screen real estate. They should provide customization most users expect, while being simple. So they should physically fit in the width of a widget. Separate pages or popups, like core blocks and panels, are good in those contexts, there is a lot to configure, but I don't think we need that many options on the dashboard.
Technically, I'm not sure how well the hook_block() callbacks can be used, something fancy will have to happen with the data storage. My understanding was that ctools would make this sort of thing a little easier, although we may still have to pare down excess options. For nodes, not a whole lot to configure, leave it out.
2) Yes, but that is definitely an extra to happen later.
