Dark to-do list widget

What a dark to-do list widget shows

A to-do widget works when it is short. Three tasks, a clear title and a box to tap are enough; a long list belongs in an app.

WidgetCraft stores local tasks on the phone, which is a free source and needs no account or permission. Tapping a row can tick the task from the home screen.

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.

• Lists: Use grey dividers at low contrast and white text for unfinished rows only.
• Text: Use off-white for main text and mid grey for labels so the contrast has two clear levels.

Tips for dark to-do list widgets

• Use #000000 so the widget disappears into a black wallpaper.
• Keep one accent color for the whole screen.
• Limit the list to three or four rows so each stays easy to tap.
• Make finished tasks visibly different: grey text and a strikethrough.
• Tap targets on a widget should be at least 48 dp high.
• 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.
