What a gaming HUD 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 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.

How to make a gaming HUD sticky note widget in WidgetCraft

  1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #10121A and the corner radius to 4. Add a 2-point outline.
  2. Add a Shape 52 × 16 at the top center in #8B5CF6 at 75% opacity, like a strip of tape, and rotate it 2°.
  3. Add a Text layer for the title at size 20 in #F2F4FF using Rajdhani.
  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 #7D86A8 at 30% opacity for a ruled-paper look.
  6. Add the gaming HUD ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: an angled purple tab in the top left corner and a matching green tab in the bottom right.
