What a blue 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 blue style shapes it

Blue widgets feel calm and clear. This recipe pairs a pale sky background with navy text and a mid-blue accent; flip the colors for a deep navy version.
