Blue photo widget
A blue photo widget frames a favorite picture with a short caption. Calm sky and navy tones. This page gives the exact colors, type settings and layers, with a preview drawn from the same values.
What a blue photo widget shows
A photo widget puts a person, place or pet on the home screen without making it the wallpaper. The frame, the crop and the caption decide whether it feels designed or just pasted in.
You pick the picture with Android's photo picker, so WidgetCraft needs no storage permission, and the photo stays on your phone. It is a free element.
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.
- Photos: Sea and sky photos match naturally.
- Text: Use navy text and slate-blue labels.

Tips for blue photo widgets
- Stay within one hue from pale to navy.
- Use the brightest blue only for progress.
- Choose a photo whose subject sits in the middle; widgets crop the edges.
- Portrait photos suit 2 × 2 or tall widgets better than wide ones.
- Very large images make widgets slow; let the app resize the photo when asked.
- Do not add warm accents unless you want strong contrast.
- Do not use mid-blue text on a mid-blue background.
