Halloween sticky note widget

What a Halloween 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 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.

How to make a Halloween sticky note widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #120B1A and the corner radius to 16.
2. Add a Shape 52 × 16 at the top center in #9B5DE5 at 75% opacity, like a strip of tape, and rotate it 2°.
3. Add a Text layer for the title at size 20 in #FF8A1F using Creepster.
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 #8E7AA8 at 30% opacity for a ruled-paper look.
6. Add the Halloween ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a crescent moon in the top right, made from an orange circle with a slightly offset circle in the background color on top, plus a few dim dots.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

• Do not add more than three colors.
