What a gaming HUD step counter widget shows

A step widget shows one number and how close it is to a goal. A ring on one side and the count on the other reads well at a glance.

Steps come from Health Connect, which needs a compatible phone, your permission and a fitness connection (a Pro feature in WidgetCraft). The numbers are whatever your phone or watch has recorded; the widget does not count steps itself.

How the gaming HUD style shapes it

Gaming HUD widgets look like the status display of an action game: dark panels, angled corners, health-style bars and bright red, green and purple.

Bars and rings: Use segmented bars: green for health, purple for experience.
Numbers: Show values as fractions like 72/100 in bold.
