Players can change the size of the widget to match it according to their layout. Here are all the sizes available:

• Large
• Small

The larger size allows players to check their in-game nickname, Adventure Rank level, and resin capacity. They also gain access to daily check-ins, interest groups, version topics page, and other Battle Chronicle tools. In contrast, the small size will display the daily check-in function with the remaining resin capacity.
