What a coquette date widget shows

A date widget is the calm alternative to a clock: one large number for the day, with the weekday above and the month below. It suits small 2 × 2 spaces and pairs well with a clock elsewhere on the screen.

It uses the phone's date, so it is free, works offline and needs no permission. WidgetCraft's Date layer takes a pattern, so each line can show a different part of the date.

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.
