Add an option in the Timer widget settings to enable or disable the display of a cross for hiding this widget. For example, as it is done in the Announcement Bar widget.

Hello there @Victoria_Fadeeva 👋

Thanks for the idea! We agree that it would be great to have this option in the settings and we’ll try to think it over in the future updates.

As for now, you can hide the Close button, using this code in the Custom CSS field on the Appearance tab of your widget’s settings:

```auto
[class*="eapps-countdown-timer-bar-close"] {
  display: none;
}

```

Hey everyone!

Great news - now it’s possible to disable the Close button for floating layouts:

Currently, this feature is available only in the widgets created after this release. However, the good news is that we can manually update your existing widgets on our end 🙂
