Glass analog clock widget

What a glass 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 glass style shapes it

Glass widgets look like frosted panes floating over the wallpaper. Android widgets cannot blur what is behind them, so the effect comes from a translucent white fill, a thin bright border and a soft, colorful wallpaper.

• Bars and rings: Draw tracks as white at 25% opacity and progress as solid white.
• Numbers: Keep numbers white and medium weight, with labels at about 80% opacity.

How to make a glass analog clock widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to white at 24% opacity and the corner radius to 28. Add a 1-point outline.
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 white at 12% opacity with a 2-point ring in #FFFFFF.
4. Set twelve markers: quarter-hours thicker in #FFFFFF, the rest thinner in #E6ECFF.
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 #FFFFFF.
6. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Everything in this recipe works in the free version.

Tips for glass analog clock widgets

• Set the background to white at 20 to 30% opacity.
• Add a 1 point white outline at about 40% opacity.
• 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 expect real blur; choose an already soft wallpaper instead.
• Do not use dark text unless the wallpaper is very light.
