      2. The checkboxes, push button, and output label all have custom names that reflect what they are (the standard names are typically not helpful and make connecting to them in python much harder)
   2. Note the different layouts; they allow for window resizing and snapping to grid
      1. Window resizing happens by right clicking the background of your widget and clicking Lay out to select the kind you want
   3. Note that we changed the window title in the Property Editor
