Botanical calendar widget

What a botanical 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 botanical style shapes it

Botanical widgets bring plants onto the home screen: deep and soft greens, leaf photographs and a calm serif or sans. They pair naturally with nature wallpapers.

• Numbers: Keep numbers in dark fern with a small moss label.
• Lists: Use small green dots as markers.

How to make a botanical calendar widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #E9EFE4 and the corner radius to 22.
2. Add a Shape on the left, 104 × 124 with radius 20, filled with #3F7D4E.
3. Add two Date layers over it: the short weekday at size 13 and the day number at size 58, both in #FFFFFF.
4. Add a Text label "Next" at size 11 in #6E8574.
5. Add a List layer, open Data and choose your calendar. Set the title to size 19 in #1F3327 and the time to size 14 in #6E8574.
6. Add the botanical ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: three leaf shapes (tall ovals) fanning up from the bottom right corner in fern green at about 55% opacity.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

The layout and styling are free. The live data connection for this widget needs WidgetCraft Pro, a one-time purchase.
