Flat analog clock widget

What a flat analog clock widget shows

An analog clock reads as a shape rather than as numbers, which makes it the most decorative way to show the time. WidgetCraft has a dedicated analog layer where the dial, markers and each hand can be styled separately.

It uses the phone's clock, needs no permission and works offline. A 2 × 2 space is enough.

How the flat style shapes it

Flat widgets use blocks of solid color with white text and simple shapes. There is no depth at all, which keeps them crisp at any size and quick to build.

• Bars and rings: Use solid bars in the yellow accent on a darker shade of the background.
• Numbers: Keep numbers white and semi-bold.

How to make a flat analog clock widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #2D6CDF and the corner radius to 16.
2. Tap Add and choose Analog. Size it to fill the canvas with a margin of about 28.
3. Open the clock details and set the dial to #2459B8 with a 4-point ring in #FFFFFF.
4. Set twelve markers: quarter-hours thicker in #FFFFFF, the rest thinner in #CFE0FF.
5. Style the hour hand (short, width 6) and minute hand (long, width 3.5) in #FFFFFF, turn the second hand off and color the center cap #FFC83D.
6. Add the flat ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a darker cobalt triangle filling the bottom right corner.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Tips for flat analog clock widgets

• Pick one strong background color per widget.
• Use a darker shade of the same color for tracks.
• Keep the hour hand clearly shorter and thicker than the minute hand.
• Twelve markers are easier to read than sixty; add numerals only at 12, 3, 6 and 9 if at all.
• Leave the second hand off: launchers refresh widgets about once a minute.
• Do not add shadows or gradients.
• Do not use more than one accent.
