Glass to-do list widget

What a glass to-do list widget shows

A to-do widget works when it is short. Three tasks, a clear title and a box to tap are enough; a long list belongs in an app.

WidgetCraft stores local tasks on the phone, which is a free source and needs no account or permission. Tapping a row can tick the task from the home screen.

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.

• Lists: Separate rows with white lines at 20% opacity.
• Text: Use white text at full opacity; it must stay readable over any part of the wallpaper.
