Grunge sticky note widget

What a grunge 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 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.

• Text: Use a typewriter font in bone white; capitals for labels.

How to make a grunge sticky note 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. Add a Shape 52 × 16 at the top center in #B3212E at 75% opacity, like a strip of tape, and rotate it 2°.
3. Add a Text layer for the title at size 20 in #E9E4DA using Special Elite.
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 #8E8780 at 30% opacity for a ruled-paper look.
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.

Everything in this recipe works in the free version.

Tips for grunge sticky note widgets

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