iOS-style photo widget
An iOS-style photo widget frames a favorite picture with a short caption. Clean white cards, large bold figures and colored highlights. This page gives the exact colors, type settings and layers, with a preview drawn from the same values.
What an iOS-style photo widget shows
A photo widget puts a person, place or pet on the home screen without making it the wallpaper. The frame, the crop and the caption decide whether it feels designed or just pasted in.
You pick the picture with Android's photo picker, so WidgetCraft needs no storage permission, and the photo stays on your phone. It is a free element.
How the iOS-style style shapes it
This style follows the widgets people know from iPhones: white or dark rounded cards, a small colored title, a large bold number and tidy lists. It is a look, not an official Apple design.
- Photos: Fill the whole card with the photo and overlay a small white caption.
- Text: Put a small bold colored title in capitals at the top left, then the value in black.

Tips for iOS-style photo widgets
- Keep the card white and the radius around 26.
- Use one bright color per widget as the title color.
- Choose a photo whose subject sits in the middle; widgets crop the edges.
- Portrait photos suit 2 × 2 or tall widgets better than wide ones.
- Very large images make widgets slow; let the app resize the photo when asked.
- Do not copy Apple artwork or icons.
- Do not shrink margins below 16 points.
