As Luke said - you have to provide explicit sizes for north/south/east/west widgets.
Here are 3 ways to do it when you want your widgets to be naturally sized and the center widget to take the available space. 1) Use a div with style='display: table-row;' with 3 children style='display: table-cell;'. Make the center child to have width: 100%; cons: It generally works but you have to fight/test in all browsers to make it sure 2) a) Copy the HeaderPanel widget to the same classpath (com.google....) on your project. Rename it to HorizontalHeaderPanel. b) Make sure it compliles c) Change its logic from vertical to horizontal. The patch is minimal. The source is around 350 linesand the changes are easy to make and test. Voila you have a widget that takes 3 widgets and naturally sizes left and rigth. cons: It requires javascript 3) Generally what you are trying to do is called the Holy grail. You can achieve it by using flexbox. See all about it here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Flexible_Box_Layout/Using_CSS_flexible_boxes cons: It works on ever green browsers and requires some cursing^H^H^H^H tweaking to get it right but it is the recommended way.
