Gradient to-do list widget

What a gradient to-do list widget shows

A to-do widget works when it is short. Three tasks, a clear title and a box to tap are enough; a long list belongs in an app.

WidgetCraft stores local tasks on the phone, which is a free source and needs no account or permission. Tapping a row can tick the task from the home screen.

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.

• Lists: Use white markers and thin translucent dividers.
• Text: Use white text with labels at about 80% opacity.

How to make a gradient to-do list widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 200, the background to gradient #6A5CFF to #FF6FB5 at 45° and the corner radius to 24.
2. Add a Text layer for the title "Today" at size 22 in #FFFFFF.
3. Tap Add and choose List. In Data, choose your local task list and limit it to three rows.
4. Set the row text to size 16 in #FFFFFF and the checkbox to 18 × 18 with radius 9.
5. Style finished rows in #EBDDFF and set the tick color to #FFE066. In Tap, set a row tap to tick the task.
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.
