+# Messages Grid Widget
+
+Widget that displays multiple notification icons in a grid.
+The widget has a fixed size: if there are multiple notifications it uses smaller
+icons.
+It shows a single icon per application, so if you have two SMS messages, the
+grid only has one SMS icon.
+If there are multiple messages waiting, the total number is shown in the 
+bottom-right corner.
+
+Example: one SMS, one Signal, and two WhatsApp messages:
+![screenshot](screenshot.png)
+
+## Installation
+This widget needs the [`messages`](/?id=messages) app to handle notifications.
+
+## Settings
+This widget uses the `Widget` settings from the `messages` app:
+
+### Widget
+* `Flash icon` Toggle flashing of the widget icons.
+<!-- * `Show read` - Also show the widget when there are only old messages. -->
+* `Widget messages` Not used by this widget, but you should select `Hide` to hide the default widget.
