## TO ADD 'STICKY' EFFECT:

To add "sticky" effect to this widget (so It will stick to the screen when you will scroll page down) you can take this **CSS** and **Javascript** code:

#### CSS:

```css
.gh-sidebar-custom-widget {
    position: sticky;
    animation: fadeIn 1s ease-in-out;
    transition: top 0.45s ease;
}
.gh-sidebar-custom-widget.with-big-header {
    top: 152px;
}
.gh-sidebar-custom-widget.with-small-header {
    top: 60px;
}
.gh-sidebar-custom-widget.moved {
    top: 32px;
}
```

#### JavaScript:

```javascript
const moveWidget = () => {
  const widget = document.querySelector('#sidebar-custom-widget');
  let lastScrollTop = 0;

  const widgetScrollHandler = () => {
    const scrollTop = window.scrollY;
    const windowWidth = window.innerWidth;
  
    if (windowWidth > 1100) {
      if (scrollTop > 200) {
        if (scrollTop > lastScrollTop) {
          widget.classList.add('moved');
        } else {
          widget.classList.remove('moved');
        }
      }
  
      lastScrollTop = scrollTop;
    }
  };

  if (widget) {
    window.addEventListener('scroll', widgetScrollHandler);
  }
};

moveWidget();
```
