To configure the Design settings for the default Design Listing Widget:

- Grid: design thumbnails maintain their aspect ratio and are displayed in the center of each cell in a uniform grid arrangement.
- Masonry: design thumbnails are resized to have the same width while maintaining their aspect ratio and arranged to form equal columns. Designs are placed in optimal positions based on available vertical space.
- Collage: design thumbnails maintain their aspect ratio, but are cropped and are placed in a pre-defined pattern arrangement of a specified number of items per row. You can set a 3,4,5, or 6 image pattern per row. Each row will use one of 4 pattern variations. If the last row has fewer items than necessary then the images will be arranged in a layout to ensure that all space is used on the final row.
