Gradient quote widget

What a gradient 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 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.

• Text: Use white text with labels at about 80% opacity.

How to make a gradient quote widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to gradient #6A5CFF to #FF6FB5 at 45° and the corner radius to 24.
2. Add a Text layer and type your quote. Set the font to built-in Sans, the size to 22 and the color to #FFFFFF.
3. Press return where you want the line to break, and set the alignment to left.
4. Add a Shape, 4 points wide and as tall as the quote, in #FFE066, and place it to the left of the text as a rule.
5. Add the author on its own Text layer at size 12 in #EBDDFF.
6. 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.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Tips for gradient quote widgets

• Blend two neighbouring hues, such as violet to pink.
• Set the gradient angle to about 45 degrees.
• 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 blend opposite colors; the middle turns muddy.
• Do not use dark text.
