  * packing what could be considered 3 or 4 widgets into a single responsive widget. More specifically:
  *
- * - For widgets 2x1 or lower, show a text-only view with no controls
- * - For widgets Wx1 or lower, show a compact view with no controls.
  * - For widgets Wx2 or higher, show an expanded view with album art and basic controls
  * - For widgets 4x2 or higher, show a complete view with all playback controls
