News Widget
The News widget delivers the latest stories from a wide range of topics right to your dashboard. Pick a topic and browse headlines without leaving your start page.
#How to Use
#Choosing a Topic
When you first add the widget, choose from one of ten news topics:
- U.S. - top U.S. news stories
- World - international news
- Business - business and finance
- Technology - tech industry news
- Entertainment - movies, music, and pop culture
- Gaming - video game news
- Vehicles - automotive news
- Sports - sports coverage
- Science - science and research
- Health - health and wellness
Click a topic to load it. The widget title updates automatically to match your selection (for example, "Technology News").
You can change the topic at any time from the widget settings.
#Reading Stories
Stories appear in a grid or list layout. Each story shows:
- Title - the article headline
- Source icon - the favicon of the source website
- Image - a preview image (if available and enabled)
Click any story to open the full article in a new tab.
The widget shows up to 6 stories by default. Click View All News to expand and see all available stories.
#Context Menu
Right-click (or tap and hold) a story to see quick actions:
- Open in New Tab - open the article in a new browser tab
- Copy Link URL - copy the article's web address
- Share Link - share the article using your device's share menu
#Widget Settings
- Topic - choose which news topic to display.
- Show Image - show or hide article preview images. Turned on by default.
- News Layout - choose between Grid (default) and List view.
- News Style - set the look of story cards: Clear, Outline, or Solid (default).
#Tips
- Stories update automatically when you open your dashboard, so you always see the latest headlines.
- Add multiple News widgets with different topics to see several news categories side by side.
- Use List layout for a compact, scannable view or Grid layout for a more visual layout with images.
- Turn off "Show Image" for a more compact news feed.
