Description

### What needs to happen?

Simply adding a bunch of widgets in `GuiCompositeWidgets` is optimistic.
It would be better to create a method that wraps the widgets in a `ScrolledComposite` so that the widgets are visible on any screen size, no matter how many we add.

Research direction

Start by locating GuiCompositeWidgets and reading how it currently adds GUI widgets. Review the ScrolledComposite API and determine how a wrapping method should fit the existing API. Done means widgets can be wrapped in a ScrolledComposite and remain visible on screens of different sizes; no test or specific file is named in the issue.
