Green date widget
A green date widget shows the weekday, a large day number and the month. Sage and forest greens that feel fresh and calm. This page gives the exact colors, type settings and layers, with a preview drawn from the same values.
What a green date widget shows
A date widget is the calm alternative to a clock: one large number for the day, with the weekday above and the month below. It suits small 2 × 2 spaces and pairs well with a clock elsewhere on the screen.
It uses the phone's date, so it is free, works offline and needs no permission. WidgetCraft's Date layer takes a pattern, so each line can show a different part of the date.
How the green style shapes it
Green widgets range from soft sage to deep forest. This recipe uses a sage background, forest text and a fresh leaf accent.
- Numbers: Keep numbers forest green and semi-bold.
- Text: Use forest green text for a softer look than black.

Tips for green date widgets
- Use sage for large areas and bright green for small ones.
- Keep text in the darkest green.
- Make the day number at least twice the size of the other lines.
- Write the month in full if there is room; short forms such as "Nov" look cramped in serif fonts.
- Pair it with a clock widget in the same font rather than squeezing the time into the same 2 × 2 space.
- Do not combine with red unless it is seasonal.
- Do not use neon green here.
