How to expand admin widget with css

[zitu4life]

Hello there

I am trying  to   re-sizing   admin widget, but do no realize how to  do that . For example Lara addon expand it   just clicking   on it, but it  only expand it on horizontal, and an want to expand  also on vertical.

I intend to expand Project management widget   on vertical to show   more projects in progress  at once. Currently it is limited to 5 by default, but  I truly believe it is possible to be   managed  size with a css, considering that   Lara   can expand it on horizontal.

Idea is  to have  all current   project displayed   on screen and not just five.

What css code should I use?

Thank you!

possibly you could give it's div a min height, but whether that would disrupt the layout of the other widgets (e.g overlapping), I don't know... not currently using v7.9 or PM.

if memory serves, the PM widget is encrypted and you can't get near the widget code - so directly modifying the content is not a simple option.

unless it's changed in v7.9, that widget always used to look quite dated, e.g it was based on v6 widget coding.

expanding it's width horizontally dynamically is a feature of Lara - you wouldn't be able to do that if using Blend or v4.

if it can't be fixed with css, you could always create your own widget - that would at least be based on the modern code and could show as many results as you wished, in a layout of your choice.

Developing new widget   will work with existing   project management, I mean it will be linked to project management to display projects too?

I don't see why not - the existing widget will just be querying the project management database tables, the same as any other widget does.
