What an Art Deco world clock widget shows

A world clock widget is for anyone with family, friends or colleagues in another time zone. Three cities in columns, each with its time and a day hint, answer "is it too late to call?" at a glance.

Each clock layer in WidgetCraft can use its own time zone, chosen by city. It is free, works offline and needs no permission; daylight saving is handled automatically.

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.

Numbers: Center the number and frame it with a thin gold line above and below.
Text: Use tall thin capitals with wide letter spacing and center every line.

How to make an Art Deco world clock widget in WidgetCraft

Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #F6F0E1 and the corner radius to 4. Add a 2-point outline.
Tap Add and choose Clock. Set the format to hours and minutes, the font to Poiret One, the size to 35 and the color to #1C1A16.
Duplicate the clock twice and space the three about 112 apart. Open each copy's details, choose Time zone and pick its city.
Add a Text label above each clock with the city name at size 12 in #7A6F58, and the offset below it.
Add thin Shape dividers between the columns and a short rule in #B8892E under your own city.
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.

Tips for Art Deco world clock widgets

Center the layout and mirror the left and right sides.
Use gold only for lines, never for large fills.
Three cities fit a 4 × 2 widget; four make the numbers too small.
Add the day offset, such as "+1 day", when a city is already tomorrow.
Put your own city first so the others read relative to it.
Do not left-align; Deco depends on symmetry.
Do not use heavy bold type.
