🔥 WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS 🔥

these are the ones that are hers, and they're giving very much custom 💅

• -background (database name frameColor, database class FrameColor) — the widget's background color. If you don't specify it, the theme default is used. no stress, the theme has you 🌈
• -relief (database name relief, database class Relief) — specifies the 3-D effect you want for the widget border. valid values are flat, groove, raised, ridge, solid, and sunken. pick your vibe 🎀
• -wraplength (database name wrapLength, database class WrapLength) — specifies the maximum line length (in pixels). if this option is negative or zero, then automatic wrapping is not performed; otherwise the text is split into lines such that no line is longer than the specified value. so basically: give her a number and she'll wrap for you, give her zero or negative and she's not wrapping, periodt ✂️
