Hi Anu, No, unfortunately, there is no way to link your preference UI from the "Edit Settings" menu. The Google gadget API does not offer a way to do this. Also, as you can see, the menu to delete, configure, etc. the gadget is outside the iframe in which your code is running. As the iframe content is rendered on gmodules.com or other domains different from the container page (usually google.com), there is no communication allowed by the browser from the inside of the iframe to the parent. In other word, no work around to do this by yourself either.
I think the best approach is to make all your prefs hidden such as Edit Settings does not show up at all, and add a small button in the top left or top right corner of your gadget for enabling your preference UI.
