That's great!

Here is the idea for a new category UI design

Simple, to the point and users know these from the Kicoff menu. Recommended
could be widgets that are randomly recommended for use by us. Maybe track
the users most used and randomly pick from it? It's mainly just a fill in
for now really.

Here is a idea for a way to remove widgets and more than one of the same
kind http://imagebin.ca/view/UaQTcxW.html

Sorry about the boxes in the background, they obscure the bitmap image
original for now. :p
