What an Art Deco year progress widget shows

A year-progress widget is a gentle nudge: one bar that fills from 1 January to 31 December. The same layout works for the day, the week or a personal goal.

It is calculated from the date, so it is free, offline and needs no permission. WidgetCraft includes a free Day progress component, and a formula can stretch it to the year.

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 year progress 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 Progress. Make it 312 wide, styled as a thin 4-point bar.
Open Data and connect it to the day of the year with a range of 0 to 365.
Color the progress #B8892E and keep the track faint.
Add a Text layer for the percentage at size 68 in #1C1A16, and a smaller one for the day count at size 13 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.

Everything in this recipe works in the free version.

Tips for Art Deco year progress widgets

Center the layout and mirror the left and right sides.
Use gold only for lines, never for large fills.
Show both the percentage and the day count so the bar has context.
Use a segmented bar if you want each step to feel like a milestone.
For a goal of your own, connect the bar to a counter instead of the date.
Do not left-align; Deco depends on symmetry.
Do not use heavy bold type.
