The Widgets window lets you configure which widgets are displayed and when. Widgets are grouped by type (Counter, List, and Graph), and each widget has a Visibility option you can set (such as Always, Never, or If not empty).

Use the buttons to Add widget, Show all, Hide all, or Reset visibilities then click Save to apply your changes or Cancel to discard them.
