What a Christmas step counter widget shows

A step widget shows one number and how close it is to a goal. A ring on one side and the count on the other reads well at a glance.

Steps come from Health Connect, which needs a compatible phone, your permission and a fitness connection (a Pro feature in WidgetCraft). The numbers are whatever your phone or watch has recorded; the widget does not count steps itself.

How the Christmas style shapes it

Christmas widgets use pine green, berry red, cream and a little gold. A countdown to 25 December is the classic, joined by a festive clock and a gift list.

Bars and rings: Use red bars and small gold circles as baubles.
Numbers: Center the number in cream and add a gold label.
