Gradient sticky note widget

What a gradient sticky note widget shows

A sticky note widget holds a few words you need to see: a shopping list, a reminder, a phone number. It works best short, with a bold title and three or four lines.

Type the note straight into a Text layer, or keep notes in WidgetCraft's Tasks, notes & habits section and show them with the Saved notes list. Both are free, stay on the phone and need no permission.

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 sticky note widget in WidgetCraft

1. 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.
2. Add a Shape 52 × 16 at the top center in #FFE066 at 75% opacity, like a strip of tape, and rotate it 2°.
3. Add a Text layer for the title at size 20 in #FFFFFF using built-in Sans.
4. Add a second Text layer for the note, one item per line, at size 15 with line spacing 1.7. To show notes you keep in the app instead, add Saved notes.
5. Add thin Shape rules under each line in #EBDDFF at 30% opacity for a ruled-paper look.
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 sticky note widgets

• Blend two neighbouring hues, such as violet to pink.
• Set the gradient angle to about 45 degrees.
• Four short lines is the most a 2 × 2 note can hold at a readable size.
• Use line breaks rather than long sentences so the note scans at a glance.
• For a list you tick off, use a to-do widget instead.
• Do not blend opposite colors; the middle turns muddy.
• Do not use dark text.
