What an Art Deco to-do list widget shows

A to-do widget works when it is short. Three tasks, a clear title and a box to tap are enough; a long list belongs in an app.

WidgetCraft stores local tasks on the phone, which is a free source and needs no account or permission. Tapping a row can tick the task from the home screen.

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.

Lists: Center each row and separate rows with a short gold rule.
Text: Use tall thin capitals with wide letter spacing and center every line.

Tips for Art Deco to-do list widgets

Center the layout and mirror the left and right sides.
Use gold only for lines, never for large fills.
Limit the list to three or four rows so each stays easy to tap.
Make finished tasks visibly different: grey text and a strikethrough.
Tap targets on a widget should be at least 48 dp high.
Do not left-align; Deco depends on symmetry.
Do not use heavy bold type.
