What a Bauhaus 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 Bauhaus style shapes it

Bauhaus widgets are built from basic shapes in red, yellow and blue on an off-white ground. Circles become dials, bars become progress and type stays geometric and plain.

Numbers: Place numbers inside or next to a solid circle or square so the shape frames them.
Lists: Mark each row with a small colored square or circle instead of a checkbox outline.

Tips for Bauhaus calendar widgets

Limit color to red, yellow, blue, black and cream.
Let one large shape dominate each widget.
Event titles vary in length, so give the title a single line and let it truncate.
Show one or two events at most in a 4 × 2 widget.
If no events appear, check that the calendar you chose is the one your events are saved in.
Do not use gradients or shadows.
Do not round shapes halfway; use full circles or square corners.
