While working on implementing different sized widget in the library, I have come across two different way to implement the setting of different widget sizes in the config.

Option 1

Have two config values album width & playlist width and have them be the percentage values used in the layout.

Pros

Super simple to understand

Cons

Having two values to configure the size of the widgets seems very unclean
It is easily possible to write values which are too large and would then cause errors, which need to be checked for

Option 2

Add a ration to the config such as 3:2:4, which will define the size of the different widgets. See: CSS-Flex

Pros

One value to define the size of all relevant widgets
Errors can be entirely avoided
Easier to scale to different places in the app

Cons

A tiny bit harder to understand
Will require adding a new "type" to the config
