Gold quote widget

What a gold 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 gold style shapes it

Gold widgets pair deep black with warm metallic gold and ivory text. Thin gold rules, an elegant capital serif and lots of dark space make them look expensive.

• Text: Use spaced capitals in a classical serif for labels.

How to make a gold quote widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #0F0E0C and the corner radius to 14. Add a 1-point outline.
2. Add a Text layer and type your quote. Set the font to Cinzel, the size to 22 and the color to #F3EAD3.
3. Press return where you want the line to break, and set the alignment to center.
4. Add a second Text layer with just an opening quotation mark at size 54 in #D4AF37.
5. Add the author on its own Text layer at size 12 in #9C8F72.
6. Add the gold ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a second hairline gold frame inset 7 points, with a small gold diamond on its top edge.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Tips for gold quote widgets

• Use gold for lines and accents, ivory for text.
• Keep plenty of black space.
• Keep quotes under about 12 words so the text can stay large.
• Break lines by meaning, not wherever the text happens to wrap.
• Always credit the author on a separate, smaller line.
• Do not use gold for long text; it reads poorly.
• Do not add a second bright color.
