Glass quote widget
A glass quote widget displays a line you want to see every day. Translucent panels with a thin light border over a colorful wallpaper. This page gives the exact colors, type settings and layers, with a preview drawn from the same values.
What a glass quote widget shows
A quote widget is pure typography, so the style shows more clearly here than anywhere else. Line length, line spacing and the size of the quotation mark do the design work.
It is plain text you type yourself: free, offline and with no permission. Change the words whenever you like.
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.
- Text: Use white text at full opacity; it must stay readable over any part of the wallpaper.
