Resizing Gadgets in the "Design Window"
2020-01-28: Ridiculously humble beginning
Sizing of layout modules, spacing between modules, ability to move a sample Gadget around, and have it resize as module sizes and module spacing gets adjusted.
User Guide:
Moving a gadget: Set the focus on the gadget by clicking on it, and then use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the gadget around.
Resizing a gadget: Set the focus on the gadget by clicking on it; enter key makes the gadget taller, backspace key makes the gadget shorter; CTRL+2 makes the gadget wider, CTRL+1 makes the gadget narrower

Re: Window Layout Helper
Just a little update, details in main post.
Aside: resizing gadget height seems a little off when Y module height is less than 14 or 15; same thing when resizing gadget width and X module width is less than 14 or 15.
I suspect that module sizes or gadget sizes are iffy under a certain height and width because of the border around the modules and/or gadgets. Something I need to investigate a little later.
Cheers !

Thanks Fred !
I am really having a blast working with SpiderBasic. There are nowhere near enough hours in a day to play with SpiderBasic to my liking.
