I have yet to see a Widget which allows resizing of its display by
the user. In Stickies, when you enter enough data which would cause
scrolling, the font size starts to shrink within the window. There is
never any scrolling.
Those that contain lists of information, such as AusTV grow by
themselves as you add new channels, but there's still no scrolling,
so there's a limitation set by your screen size. Of course, you can
always just create another instance of the Widget adn use that for
more channels if you run out of room.
I think it's pretty clear that widgets are intended to be one thing -
a source of very quick reference information: do a quick calculation,
look up a word in the dictionary, look up someone's address, etc,
without having to launch an application to do it. For anything more
complex, the application is the preferred choice.
