 | "color"         | (optional) A string representing a color as would be used in CSS. Hex codes and custom CSS properties are included. This defaults to `"var(--secondary-text-color)"` which is a color wave uses for text that should be differentiated from other text. Out of the box, it is `"#c3c8c2"`. |
 | "label"         | (optional) A string representing the label that appears underneath the widget. It will also act as a tooltip on hover if the `"description"` key isn't filled out. It is null by default.                                                                                                  |
 | "description"   | (optional) A description of what the widget does. If it is specified, this serves as a tooltip on hover. It is null by default.                                                                                                                                                            |
+| "magnified"     | (optional) A boolean indicating whether or not the widget should launch magnfied.

 | "blockdef"      | This is where the the non-visual portion of the widget is defined. Note that all further definition takes place inside a meta object inside this one.                                                                                                                                      |
