Beige date widget
A beige date widget shows the weekday, a large day number and the month. Cream, oat and soft brown neutrals. This page gives the exact colors, type settings and layers, with a preview drawn from the same values.
What a beige 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 beige style shapes it
Beige widgets use warm neutrals: cream backgrounds, soft brown text and a caramel accent. They are the base of most aesthetic home screens.
- Numbers: Keep numbers cocoa and medium weight.
- Text: Use cocoa brown instead of black.

Tips for beige date widgets
- Keep every color warm.
- Use caramel as the only accent.
- 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 greys.
- Do not use pure white.
