What a gold 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 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 year progress widget in WidgetCraft

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.
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 #D4AF37 and keep the track faint.
Add a Text layer for the percentage at size 68 in #F3EAD3, and a smaller one for the day count at size 13 in #9C8F72.
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.
Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Tips for gold year progress widgets

Use gold for lines and accents, ivory for text.
Keep plenty of black space.
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 use gold for long text; it reads poorly.
Do not add a second bright color.
