Gold step counter widget

What a gold step counter widget shows

A step widget shows one number and how close it is to a goal. A ring on one side and the count on the other reads well at a glance.

Steps come from Health Connect, which needs a compatible phone, your permission and a fitness connection (a Pro feature in WidgetCraft). The numbers are whatever your phone or watch has recorded; the widget does not count steps itself.

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.

• Bars and rings: Use thin gold lines and rings; never thick bars.
• Numbers: Set numbers in ivory with a thin gold rule beneath.

How to make a gold step counter 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. Open Data and connect Health Connect, allowing access to steps.
3. Tap Add and choose Ring. Set the diameter to 104 and the stroke to 5, and connect it to steps with a range from 0 to your goal.
4. Color the progress #D4AF37.
5. Add a Text layer connected to the step count at size 46 in #F3EAD3, plus a label and your goal 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.

The layout and styling are free. The live data connection for this widget needs WidgetCraft Pro, a one-time purchase.

Tips for gold step counter widgets

• Use gold for lines and accents, ivory for text.

• Show the goal next to the count so the ring has meaning.
• Step data can lag by a few minutes depending on the app that records it.
• This is an activity display, not medical advice.
• Do not use gold for long text; it reads poorly.
• Do not add a second bright color.
