What a Halloween quote widget shows

A quote widget is pure typography, so the style shows more clearly here than anywhere else. Line length, line spacing and the size of the quotation mark do the design work.

It is plain text you type yourself: free, offline and with no permission. Change the words whenever you like.

How the Halloween style shapes it

Halloween widgets use pumpkin orange, deep purple and black with a slightly eerie display font. A countdown to 31 October is the obvious centerpiece.

Text: Use pumpkin orange for titles and fog grey for details.
