    Hello, 

     

    I was wondering if you could direct me on how to change the pixel width for some of the widgets we are using on our form or an easier way to make the form mobile responsive. 

     

    Thank you!

    The height and width of most widgets can be set from that widgets properties menu:

    So I see that we can do that and I have. 

     

    The concern is that I want it to be larger when viewing from the web. Doing a fixed mobile width makes the web version look like crap (to put it bluntly...)

    The image below shows how it looks like on a web browser.

    I see that it matches your form's width. Or, do you want to also increase the form's width also on a web browser and make it look like as shown in the image below?

    I want the form to be the first image when on a mobile device and the second when on web. When you look at the first image there's a TON of wasted space, and the form looks compressed. 

     

    Its called being "mobile responsive".

    The problem with widgets is for the most part, they are loaded in their own frame.  This means they are not subject to the CSS in the rest of the form.  Most widgets allow for adding custom CSS to the widget itself.  The Prezi widget, unfortunately, does not.
