Grunge battery widget

What a grunge 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 grunge style shapes it

Grunge widgets look worn and handmade: faded black and charcoal, off-white typewriter text, strips of tape and one dark red accent. They suit goth, emo and alt home screens.

• Bars and rings: Use segmented bars and rough tape strips in ash grey.
• Numbers: Keep numbers plain and slightly spaced, like stamped digits.

How to make a grunge battery widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #1A1818 and the corner radius to 4.
2. Tap Add and choose Ring. Set the diameter to 120 and the stroke to 9.
3. Open Data for the ring and connect it to Battery level with a range of 0 to 100.
4. Color the progress #B3212E and the track #8E8780 at about 28% opacity.
5. Add a Battery layer in the center at size 44 in #E9E4DA, then a small Text label underneath.
6. Add the grunge ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a strip of grey "tape" (a 64 × 16 rectangle at 55% opacity, rotated 12°) across the top right corner, and two faint scratch lines.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Tips for grunge battery widgets

• Add one strip of "tape" across a corner.
• Use the red accent sparingly, once per widget.
• 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 use rounded, friendly fonts.
• Do not use bright colors other than the red.
