Description

Hello,
please remove limitation of widget screenshot size in widget picker. At this moment I can only add screenshot in medium widget size. What should I do when my widget is small or large only? I could add more pixels around to the screenshot but widget picker has static border and shadow for screenshot.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the widget picker entry point and the logic applying the fixed screenshot size, border, and shadow; compare small, medium, and large widget cases. Done means screenshots for each widget size can be added without padding while retaining the correct picker presentation.
