The floating widgets use the same structure/style as used by your theme. So if your theme sidebar is made as a floating popup. ### Can I show the widget box in the center of the page ? No, that is not possible. Right now the widget boxes can be placed near the corners or to the sides of the window. You could use custom CSS (with flyout mode) to achieve the same but support for that would be beyond the scope of the plugin. ### Are widget boxes mobile responsive ?
