Customize userPrefs

Hey guys,
I need some information regarding the customization of the userPrefs UI.

I would like to customize the gadget heading bars, eg. Title - settings -
toggle, along with the action that is triggered when one clicks settings.
 Can the app be configured to trigger a popup instead of just the default
dropdown when someone clicks settings?

Thank you

Have a look at gadgets.js. Modify the method handleOpenUserPrefsDialog
and/or showUserPrefsDialog.

Shindig doesn't provide the user prefs UI. That's up to the container  
implementor (i.e., you) to handle, so you can do whatever you like.

The UI used in the sample container shipped with Shindig is only an  
example and is probably not what you want to use in a production  
application. It actually relies on iGoogle's implementation, loading  
an external script from gmodules.com and storing saved pref values in  
cookies. Real containers should generate their own UI, and provide  
their own persistence mechanism.
