Excellent, easy to use plug-in
I used this plug-in to fix some widget display and alignment issues with a WordPress theme I often use. It instantly fixed the issues and it works responsively with the theme. It would have saved me hours of work if I had found this plug-in sooner!

What a wonderful plugin & developer
Thank you so much for sharing this - such a fantastic addition for widgets; so simple, yet so powerful. Most appreciated.

Useful & great with Genesis
Works like a charm. Also a useful tool to customize the Home page of a Genesis child theme on the fly, since their layout is based on widget areas (use only with standard areas, not those provided with preconfigured layout variations based on the number of widgets added to these areas).
