What a gradient battery widget shows

A battery widget turns one number into a shape you can read without thinking. A ring that fills clockwise is the clearest form, with the percentage inside it.

Battery level is a free, built-in source in WidgetCraft and needs no permission. The widget refreshes when the charge changes or the charger is connected.

How the gradient style shapes it

Gradient widgets use a smooth blend between two related colors as the background, with white text on top. They add color without adding clutter.

Bars and rings: Use white bars on a 25% white track.
Numbers: Keep numbers white and bold so they hold up over both gradient colors.

How to make a gradient battery widget in WidgetCraft

Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to gradient #6A5CFF to #FF6FB5 at 45° and the corner radius to 24.
Tap Add and choose Ring. Set the diameter to 120 and the stroke to 12.
Open Data for the ring and connect it to Battery level with a range of 0 to 100.
Color the progress #FFE066 and the track #EBDDFF at about 28% opacity.
Add a Battery layer in the center at size 44 in #FFFFFF, then a small Text label underneath.
Add the gradient ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: two large translucent white circles at about 12% opacity in the right corners, for depth.
Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Tips for gradient battery widgets

Blend two neighbouring hues, such as violet to pink.
Set the gradient angle to about 45 degrees.
Start the ring at the top and fill clockwise; other start points are harder to read.
Keep the track visible at low opacity so an almost-empty ring still looks like a ring.
A battery widget shows the phone only. Earbuds and watches need their maker's own widget.
Do not blend opposite colors; the middle turns muddy.
Do not use dark text.
