 # Widget Editor
 
-This adds a setting menu which allows you to change the location of all widgets.
+This adds a setting menu which allows you to change the location of widgets.
 
 ## Settings
 
 There is no app icon in the launcher; you can find the settings under   
-`Settings`->`App/Widget Settings`->`Widget Editor`.
+`Apps`->`Widget Editor`.
 
 For every widget, you have these options:
-* **Area**: In which corner to draw the widget.
-  * **Note**: Not all apps handle widgets in the bottom corners well.
-* **Sort Order**: Changes the order if several widgets use the same corner.
-* **Enabled**: We do our best to hide disabled widgets, but they are still 
-  loaded and use RAM.
+* **Side**: On which side to draw the widget.
+* **Sort Order**: Changes the order if several widgets use the same side.
