Gmail widget - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

I don't know how, but I managed to put an email widget with only two-wide. (The Gmail widget that shows list of your emails)
Then I try to add another one but I can't. I can't resize any to two-wide it restricts to three-wide minimum.
Anyone has a trick to get two calendars side by side?
P.s. can't add picture with Tapatalk here? I have a screenshot.

LFW-Looking for Widget

Hey all,
Not sure if this type of widget exists, but i'm looking for an email widget.
Right now i have 3 accounts on the phone, 2 gmail and 1 email. The shape of the stock widgets makes me put 2 accounts on one screen and 1 on another, kinda looking bad.
Is there a widget that will combine all these accounts, in a 'stack' type of widget (like the youtube one) so i can just scroll between the three accounts?
Or any other suggestions would be great.
Thanks!
any thoughts?
Try "Android Pro Widgets". They have several sense like widgets available for free in the market.

[Q] Where to click on Email widget to view entire inbox?

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I set up my outlook.com email address in the Note 2's buult-in Email program and added the widget to my desktop. Normally, when you click the top left corner of email widgets, it takes you to your inbox (gmail widget works this way). However when I click that spot on the Note 2's mail widget, instead of taking me to my inbox, it just toggles views between my inbox and "combined inbox". Is there some way to disable combined inbox, or some other place on the widget to click to be taken to your inbox?
Thanks!

[Q] Widget showing calendar color, not actual event color.

I'm building a Calendar widget with Zooper pro for my Galaxy S3 4.3 with Nova prime.
It's showing date and title for the next 6 events in my Google Calendar. This part works perfectly.
I want each event to be the color of the actual event in my Google Calendar. I'm using a Rich Text field for each event, and the code goes like this:
[c=#C0COLOR#]#C0SEEEE# #C0Sd#/#C0SM# - #C0TITLE#[/c]
The thing is, when displayed on my homescreen, the text appears in the color of the Calendar, which in this case is red. You can have multiple calendars in Google Cal, and you can organize these with colors. But since Im only using one calendar, all my events are displayed as red on my home screen, even though ive made some of the single events green and blue.
I thought #C0COLOR# would get the color from the event, and not the calendar?
Bro can I get the unfinished template I have been tryin to make a calender for a long time

I can't be the only one with this problem?
Does the refference #C0COLOR# work as intended for anyone?

Is there a way to add my wife's calendar to my Google calendar???

If she is using Google Calendar then try this.... It will have to be done from her calendar.
In the calendar list on the left side of the page, click the down-arrow button next to a calendar, then select "Share this calendar" .
Enter the email address of the person you want to share your calendar with.
From the drop-down menu on the right side, select a level of permission, then click "Add Person" . Click "Save".
Once you click "Save" , the person you selected to share the calendar with will receive an email invitation to view your calendar.
You will need to click on the link contained in the email to add the calendar to your "Other" calendars list, the calendar will not be automatically added to the your Calendar account.
There are some permissions you can set like whether they can edit the calendar and such.

Thanks! This explains it. My Google calendar events were a mix of all day events and the other appts did not have a notification set up

as a followup.... does anybody know how this is supposed to work with calendars that are shared with you? for example, my wife shares her google calendar with me with just read only access.... her calendar shows up under Other Calendars. Are her events supposed to show up because they dont? I do receive notifications for them. Cant find anything regarding this. Also, has anybody gotten teh traffic updates to work as well? Really wish there was some sort of guide to how this widget is supposed to work. thanks

As far as the calendar goes, if you want your wife's to show you can create a "family" calendar. It's the only way I can see both my events & my wife's. Just follow directions https://support.google.com/families/answer/7157782?co=GENIE.Platform=Desktop&hl=en
