Coquette calendar widget

What a coquette 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 coquette style shapes it

Coquette widgets are delicate and romantic: ballet pink and cream, a deep rose for text, small ribbon bows, lace-like edges and an elegant italic serif.

• Numbers: Set numbers in the serif at a medium weight, never heavy.
• Lists: Use small round pink checkboxes and generous line spacing.

How to make a coquette calendar widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #FFF4F4 and the corner radius to 22.
2. Add a Shape on the left, 104 × 124 with radius 20, filled with #E8879C.
3. Add two Date layers over it: the short weekday at size 13 and the day number at size 58, both in #000000.
4. Add a Text label "Next" at size 11 in #B88A92.
5. Add a List layer, open Data and choose your calendar. Set the title to size 19 in #5E2433 and the time to size 14 in #B88A92.
6. Add the coquette ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a small ribbon bow tied over the top edge at the center (two triangles, two short tails and a center dot) and a row of thin half-circles along the bottom edge like lace.
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.

Tips for coquette calendar widgets

• Add one bow per widget, not several.
• Keep the palette to pinks, cream and one warm gold.

• Show one or two events at most in a 4 × 2 widget.
• If no events appear, check that the calendar you chose is the one your events are saved in.
• Do not use bold sans-serif fonts.
• Do not add bright, saturated colors.
