Glass sticky note widget

What a glass 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 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.

How to make a glass sticky note 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. Add a Shape 52 × 16 at the top center in #FFFFFF at 75% opacity, like a strip of tape, and rotate it 2°.
3. Add a Text layer for the title at size 20 in #FFFFFF using built-in Sans.
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 #E6ECFF at 30% opacity for a ruled-paper look.
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.

• Four short lines is the most a 2 × 2 note can hold at a readable size.
• Use line breaks rather than long sentences so the note scans at a glance.
• For a list you tick off, use a to-do widget instead.
• Do not expect real blur; choose an already soft wallpaper instead.
• Do not use dark text unless the wallpaper is very light.
