Autumn music widget

What an autumn music widget shows

A now-playing widget shows cover art, the track and artist, a progress line and three controls. It works with whichever app is playing, not one particular service.

Reading the current track needs Android's notification access and a media connection, which is a Pro feature in WidgetCraft. The controls send play, pause and skip to the app that is playing.

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.

• Photos: Leaves, coffee and knitwear photos fit.
• Text: Use chestnut brown text in a warm serif.
• Bars and rings: Use rust and mustard bars.

How to make an autumn music widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #F4E4CF and the corner radius to 22.
2. Open Data and set up the media connection; Android will ask for notification access.
3. Add an Image layer, 140 × 140 with radius 12, and connect it to the cover art.
4. Add two Text layers connected to the track title (size 20, #4A2C1A) and the artist (size 14, #9A7A5F).
5. Add a Progress layer as a thick 12-point bar with rounded ends in #C4561D, then three shapes for the controls. In Tap, assign previous, play/pause and next.
6. Add the autumn ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: three leaf shapes (rotated ovals) in rust, mustard and chestnut falling in the top right.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

The layout and styling are free. The live data connection for this widget needs WidgetCraft Pro, a one-time purchase.

Tips for autumn music widgets

• Combine rust, mustard and brown on cream.

• Make each control at least 48 dp wide so it is easy to hit.
• The widget only shows a track while a media app has an active session.
• Do not use cool blues.
• Do not use pure white.
