Botanical quote widget

What a botanical quote widget shows

A quote widget is pure typography, so the style shows more clearly here than anywhere else. Line length, line spacing and the size of the quotation mark do the design work.

It is plain text you type yourself: free, offline and with no permission. Change the words whenever you like.

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.

• Text: Use deep green text instead of black.

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.
