What an autumn date widget shows

A date widget is the calm alternative to a clock: one large number for the day, with the weekday above and the month below. It suits small 2 × 2 spaces and pairs well with a clock elsewhere on the screen.

It uses the phone's date, so it is free, works offline and needs no permission. WidgetCraft's Date layer takes a pattern, so each line can show a different part of the date.

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.
Text: Use chestnut brown text in a warm serif.

Tips for autumn date widgets

Combine rust, mustard and brown on cream.
Use warm photos.
Make the day number at least twice the size of the other lines.
Write the month in full if there is room; short forms such as "Nov" look cramped in serif fonts.
Pair it with a clock widget in the same font rather than squeezing the time into the same 2 × 2 space.
Do not use cool blues.
Do not use pure white.
