Yes, it was clear enough, but it took a screenshot before I really understood what you meant. Looking at mine, it seems to be a rather strong frame to the widget, nothing more, so what we really need is the ability to have the widget with or without a frame, as you can with the picture-frame. > Btw.

It's odd how some things are so important to working practices for some users, yet irrelevant to others. I hadn't even noticed the frame until you pointed it out to me. I thought I was the world's worst mouse-user, yet it had never caused me a problem :-) Still, I'd guess that asking for the frame to be optional might be your best bet.
