What an autumn calendar widget shows

A calendar widget answers two questions: what day is it, and what is next. The date sits in a bold block on the left and the next event takes the right side.

The date works with no permission. Showing events needs Android's calendar permission and a calendar connection, which is a Pro feature in WidgetCraft. Without it you can still build the date block on its own for free.

How the autumn style shapes it

Autumn widgets take their colors from falling leaves: rust orange, mustard, deep brown and cream, with soft serif type and a cosy mood.

Numbers: Keep numbers chestnut with a rust label.
Lists: Use small rust dots as markers.
