Dark sticky note widget

What a dark sticky note widget shows

A sticky note widget holds a few words you need to see: a shopping list, a reminder, a phone number. It works best short, with a bold title and three or four lines.

Type the note straight into a Text layer, or keep notes in WidgetCraft's Tasks, notes & habits section and show them with the Saved notes list. Both are free, stay on the phone and need no permission.

How the dark style shapes it

Dark widgets sit on pure black so they merge with an AMOLED wallpaper. White text, one bright accent and very little else: sharp to read and easy on the battery of an OLED display.

• Text: Use off-white for main text and mid grey for labels so the contrast has two clear levels.

How to make a dark sticky note widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #000000 and the corner radius to 24.
2. Add a Shape 52 × 16 at the top center in #3B9EFF at 75% opacity, like a strip of tape, and rotate it 2°.
3. Add a Text layer for the title at size 20 in #FAFAFA using built-in Sans.
4. Add a second Text layer for the note, one item per line, at size 15 with line spacing 1.7. To show notes you keep in the app instead, add Saved notes.
5. Add thin Shape rules under each line in #8C8C8C at 30% opacity for a ruled-paper look.
6. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Everything in this recipe works in the free version.

Tips for dark sticky note widgets

• Use #000000 so the widget disappears into a black wallpaper.
• Keep one accent color for the whole screen.
• Four short lines is the most a 2 × 2 note can hold at a readable size.
• Use line breaks rather than long sentences so the note scans at a glance.
• For a list you tick off, use a to-do widget instead.
• Do not use pure white for long text; off-white is easier to read.
• Do not add borders around black widgets on a black wallpaper.
