Hi omygoodness

default widget cannot be edited (at least, not the backend / frontend code). You can of course:

Style them via CSS / SASS

Wrap them with extra custom logic using the @override directive.

Hope this helps,

PaoloT Thank you for answer. So I need to build my own widget from scratch.

  omygoodness - Yes, you can either develop a custom widget or simply override a default one as Paolo mentioned. Also, if your requirement is just some cosmetic changes, you can use some CSS to change its UI.

    So where is the code for a widget so I can override it?
