Dark year progress widget
A dark year progress widget shows how much of the year has passed as a percentage and a bar. True black backgrounds with white type for OLED screens. This page gives the exact colors, type settings and layers, with a preview drawn from the same values.
What a dark year progress widget shows
A year-progress widget is a gentle nudge: one bar that fills from 1 January to 31 December. The same layout works for the day, the week or a personal goal.
It is calculated from the date, so it is free, offline and needs no permission. WidgetCraft includes a free Day progress component, and a formula can stretch it to the year.
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.
- Bars and rings: Draw the track in dark grey and only the filled part in the accent color.
- Numbers: Let the number glow in white against black and keep it medium weight.

Tips for dark year progress widgets
- Use #000000 so the widget disappears into a black wallpaper.
- Keep one accent color for the whole screen.
- Show both the percentage and the day count so the bar has context.
- Use a segmented bar if you want each step to feel like a milestone.
- For a goal of your own, connect the bar to a counter instead of the date.
- 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.
