What an Art Deco step counter widget shows

A step widget shows one number and how close it is to a goal. A ring on one side and the count on the other reads well at a glance.

Steps come from Health Connect, which needs a compatible phone, your permission and a fitness connection (a Pro feature in WidgetCraft). The numbers are whatever your phone or watch has recorded; the widget does not count steps itself.

How the Art Deco style shapes it

Art Deco widgets take the look of 1920s posters and hotel signage: thin gold lines, strict symmetry, tall elegant capitals and ivory or black grounds.

Bars and rings: Use thin gold arcs, fans and double outlines; keep everything symmetrical.
Numbers: Center the number and frame it with a thin gold line above and below.

How to make an Art Deco step counter widget in WidgetCraft

Color the progress #B8892E.
Add a Text layer connected to the step count at size 46 in #1C1A16, plus a label and your goal in #7A6F58.
Add the Art Deco ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a second 1-point gold outline inset 9 points, with two short diagonal gold lines across opposite corners.
Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

The layout and styling are free. The live data connection for this widget needs WidgetCraft Pro, a one-time purchase.

Tips for Art Deco step counter widgets

Center the layout and mirror the left and right sides.
Use gold only for lines, never for large fills.
Show the goal next to the count so the ring has meaning.
Step data can lag by a few minutes depending on the app that records it.
This is an activity display, not medical advice.
Do not left-align; Deco depends on symmetry.
Do not use heavy bold type.
