I like the extension. Very useful. Just one issue - I added one more search widget to SquarePAGE by mistake. I can't find how to remove it. Can you advise please? Thank you.

I Love everything about this extension! There's so much potential too! I so wish I had a lightweight app with this ability for my desktop! I hope that a photo widget will be added, updated colors to include black for the notes widget, and perhaps a pinboard with image thumbnails in the future? :) Great job you guys!! Thank you so much for your awesomeness!
