View count action.
Topics per page.

I have no idea if these are even feasible but it would be a big plus to have.

Provide layout standard templates - eg rectangular block listings, square block listing, grid/table listing

Combine multiple lists on a single page - this would allow the creation of news like pages

Control cutoff points for listings - eg overflow - The card blocks layout for example has is very "tall". Cutting it off after maybe 200 [or however many the user sets) words would be more easy to navigate.

For combining different styles, you should already be able to do this using the news widgets and multiple lists.

How? I tried http://i.imgur.com/sisN0pX.jpg but I can only select one list per widget. I could add more widgets but they would stack vertically instead of side by side. Maybe we are thinking of different things?

widget 1 - list 1
...
...
...

widget 2 - list 2
...
...
...

that is already possible.

I was hoping for something like

I see. This isn't possible using the existing widgets. I should be able to make a widget for side-by-side lists. Although, you wouldn't be able to add other widgets in a side-by-side formation, just lists.
