Choose Widget Background
- Start creating widget by picking the background image you will use as the basis for your widget from gallery.

The total pixel size must be less than 160k pixels.

Place Added Objects Into Right Place
- The added Object appears small in the top of the screen. Use Edit Object to choose the object. Use the Position control to move it towards the location on your background image you want it to take. Check mark the ‘Faster movement’ option to move it quicker, then un check mark it again for a more refined placement.

Place the widget on one of your home screens and tap the Touch here icon that appears in order to launch it. If it doesn't look good, go to UCCW App and edit widget, and reform it.
Put It In Action
