What a gaming HUD 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 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.
