What a glass 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 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 year progress widget in WidgetCraft

Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to white at 24% opacity and the corner radius to 28. Add a 1-point outline.
Tap Add and choose Progress. Make it 312 wide, styled as a thin 4-point bar.
Open Data and connect it to the day of the year with a range of 0 to 365.
Color the progress #FFFFFF and keep the track faint.
Add a Text layer for the percentage at size 68 in #FFFFFF, and a smaller one for the day count at size 13 in #E6ECFF.
Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Tips for glass year progress widgets

Set the background to white at 20 to 30% opacity.
Add a 1 point white outline at about 40% opacity.
Show both the percentage and the day count so the bar has context.
Use a segmented bar if you want each step to feel like a milestone.
For a goal of your own, connect the bar to a counter instead of the date.
Do not expect real blur; choose an already soft wallpaper instead.
Do not use dark text unless the wallpaper is very light.
