Widget spacing

[Chivs]

Please bear with me, new to dashboard configuration.

I tried to create a simple layout to get started and used the following:
title: Main Panel
widget_dimensions: [1, 1]
columns: 8

layout:
- include: top_panel

However, the spacing is completely off and I tried to make sense of your comment that widgets are 1x1 and not 120x120.

What am I missing?

Thanks

I think the issue is probably in your columns. Because the grid dimensions are set to 1x1 pixels you'll need to set your columns to the total width you want your screen to be. For example mine is set to 1024 to match the width of my fire 7 tablet. Try that and then set your widget dimensions to something like this: light.livingroom_lights_level(120x120) to make the widget 120x120 pixels.

This makes it a pain to format but the benefit is that you can set widgets to any size you want.
