Hi Martin,

the dashboard widgets/apps, listed under the Apps section in the
dashboard item selector, are rendered in the same way as before.
They are loaded in an iframe in a box added to the dashboard grid.
This is also to ensure existing apps can still work in the new Dashboards app.

As for distinguishing between a full screen and a "widget" app, there
isn't anything in place as far as I know.

One way is to use a responsive layout in your app, to ensure the
content fits and is usable in both full screen and the small widget
box.

I didn't work with widget apps, so hopefully someone in the community
who has done that can help.

Cheers,
