widget does not position in the default area

[roxanadangerm]

Hello,
I am testing the widget example and I am trying to customise a widget to set it up in the top area. I changed the value of the default location of the widget with:

defaultWidgetOptions: { area: 'top' },

in the file widget-contibution.ts.

But, I can not see a change of the widget position. It does not work for other values either.

What other changes I need to do for achieving this behaivour?

Many thanks!

@roxanadangerm I believe the top panel is pretty specific to what can be rendered there, currently it is the main menu, do you maybe mean the main area?

If you're modifying the layout of the application you may want to execute the reset workbench layout command which will clear any previous layout data stored in local-storage. This may explain why despite updating your area in the code you are still loading the older data which gets saved when a user exists the app.

Great, the reset command did the trick!
Thank you very much @vince-fugnitto !
