 With the new Dash improvements, on wide monitors, four columns exist for
 dashboard widgets.

 If the user is not using all visible, a blank, dotted-borded box is
 displayed.

 This can be confusing to users who don't realize they can drag the widget
 to those spaces, thinking the dotted lines are placeholders for future
 widgets.

 Ideas for improvements:
 * Change the dotted box to some type of note that widgets can now be moved
 there.
 * If not being used, show a smaller blank indicator to maximize the size
 of the columns being used (A compromise for those who don't want 3 or 4
 columns while keeping our fully responsive goal).
