Bauhaus clock widget

What a Bauhaus clock widget shows

A digital clock is the widget most people place first. It needs to be readable from arm's length, so the time takes most of the space and the date sits quietly below it.

It uses the phone's own time, so it needs no permission and works offline. WidgetCraft's clock layer follows your 12- or 24-hour setting unless you choose a format.

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.
• Text: Use a geometric sans in capitals and keep it small beside the shapes.

How to make a Bauhaus clock widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #F4EFE3 and the corner radius to 4.
2. Tap Add and choose Clock. Set the format to hours and minutes, the font to Josefin Sans, the size to 78 and the color to #1B1B1B.
3. Add a Date layer above it for the weekday at size 12 in #6D6A62, in capitals.
4. Add a second Date layer below for the day and month at size 15.
5. Add a small Shape in #D93025 as the only accent, and align every layer to the same left margin of 24.
6. Arrange the layers in the split layout: the time on the left at size 64, a thin divider at x 236, and the weekday and date stacked in a column on the right.
7. Add the Bauhaus ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a large yellow circle (Shape) in the top right corner and a 30 × 30 blue square in the bottom right, both behind the content.
8. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Tips for Bauhaus clock widgets

• Limit color to red, yellow, blue, black and cream.
• Let one large shape dominate each widget.
• Seconds make a home screen widget look busy and Android updates widgets about once a minute, so leave them out.
• Check the widest time, such as 22:58 or 12:48 PM, so it never touches the edges.
• If the launcher crops the widget, reduce the time size before reducing the margins.
• Do not use gradients or shadows.
• Do not round shapes halfway; use full circles or square corners.
