Grunge year progress widget
A grunge year progress widget shows how much of the year has passed as a percentage and a bar. Faded black, distressed type and a single blood-red accent. This page gives the exact colors, type settings and layers, with a preview drawn from the same values.

What a grunge year progress widget shows
A year-progress widget is a gentle nudge: one bar that fills from 1 January to 31 December. The same layout works for the day, the week or a personal goal.
It is calculated from the date, so it is free, offline and needs no permission. WidgetCraft includes a free Day progress component, and a formula can stretch it to the year.
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.

Tips for grunge year progress widgets
- Add one strip of "tape" across a corner.
- Use the red accent sparingly, once per widget.
- Show both the percentage and the day count so the bar has context.
- Use a segmented bar if you want each step to feel like a milestone.
- For a goal of your own, connect the bar to a counter instead of the date.
- Do not use rounded, friendly fonts.
- Do not use bright colors other than the red.
