As mentioned before you can activate various functions in the widget settings. The settings themselves are divided into there categories: general, colors and advanced settings, which allow you to quickly find the setting you are looking for.

General Settings 

In the general settings you can decide about various factors. They depend on the widget type, but as a rule of thumb you can assume they refer to the general view of the widget. The basic settings may also influence the amount of the information, that is shown in the widget.

To name just some examples: you can set here the event/task layout, core hours for the widget ( → Beginning and end of the day), the size all-day area ( → Show all-day events), numbers of the days to show and many more accordingly to widget type.

Please note, that in the general settings you also decide, which view will open when you tap on the header (→ Tap on the header starts). This setting is really important as it enables you to directly launch the app in your preferred view.

Finally, in the general settings in the → Calendar & Task lists section, you can decide which calendars, task lists and birthday calendars should be visible in the widget. For example, you can decide to show the personal or work calendars and tasks lists only. Please note, that it is the pro feature for the widgets.
