 * hi,
 * i am having trouble understanding the documentation. i suppose this is because
   i am used to finding working examples from other plugins that offer a developer
   documentation.
 * what some plugins offer is the ability to override a widget by copying the widget
   file, modifying what is required and then placing it in a customisation directory
   within the active theme.
 * what i am looking or hoping to find in this developer documentation:
    - a way to modify existing widgets in terms of editable options and the rendered
      html of the widget.
    - a way to disable existing widgets.
    - a way to extend the font icons library. by using fontello i can generate font
      icons that i have created bundled with fontawsome icons. is there away to 
      modify the icons widget so it reads off my generated font icons?
    - a way to add a widget to the widgets library and coded in the same way as 
      the existing widgets without having to build a plugin.
    - a way to change the grid system, i am used to the bootstrap grid and markup
      so was hoping for elementor to work in that way.
    - a way to add additional global options
 * i am assuming that the developer documentations are found here: [https://github.com/pojome/elementor/tree/develop/docs](https://github.com/pojome/elementor/tree/develop/docs),
   if not then can you point me to the right direction.
