What a Halloween 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 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.

Bars and rings: Use orange bars and circles; a circle with two triangles makes a pumpkin face.
Numbers: Center the number in orange.

How to make a Halloween year progress widget in WidgetCraft

Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #120B1A and the corner radius to 16.
Tap Add and choose Progress. Make it 312 wide, styled as a thick 12-point bar with rounded ends.
Open Data and connect it to the day of the year with a range of 0 to 365.
Color the progress #9B5DE5 and keep the track faint.
Add a Text layer for the percentage at size 68 in #FF8A1F, and a smaller one for the day count at size 13 in #8E7AA8.
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.
Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Tips for Halloween year progress widgets

Set a countdown layer to 31 October.
Keep the background nearly black.
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 the spooky font for small labels.
Do not add more than three colors.
