Kawaii calendar widget

What a kawaii calendar widget shows

A calendar widget answers two questions: what day is it, and what is next. The date sits in a bold block on the left and the next event takes the right side.

The date works with no permission. Showing events needs Android's calendar permission and a calendar connection, which is a Pro feature in WidgetCraft. Without it you can still build the date block on its own for free.

How the kawaii style shapes it

Kawaii widgets are deliberately cute: very round shapes, pink and cream colors, small hearts or stars and friendly rounded type. Simple shapes with two dots and a curve become faces.

• Numbers: Center the number and add a small heart or star beside the label.
• Lists: Use heart or circle checkboxes and pink strikethrough for finished rows.

How to make a kawaii calendar widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #FFF4F7 and the corner radius to 34.
2. Add a Shape on the left, 104 × 124 with radius 20, filled with #FF8FB1.
3. Add two Date layers over it: the short weekday at size 13 and the day number at size 58, both in #000000.
4. Add a Text label "Next" at size 11 in #B08A97.
5. Add a List layer, open Data and choose your calendar. Set the title to size 19 in #5B3A45 and the time to size 14 in #B08A97.
6. Add the kawaii ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: two small hearts in the top right (one pink, one yellow) and a soft yellow dot in the bottom right.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

The layout and styling are free. The live data connection for this widget needs WidgetCraft Pro, a one-time purchase.

Tips for kawaii calendar widgets

• Use radius 30 or more on everything.
• Add one small heart or star shape as decoration.
• Event titles vary in length, so give the title a single line and let it truncate.
• Show one or two events at most in a 4 × 2 widget.
• If no events appear, check that the calendar you chose is the one your events are saved in.
• Do not use black; cocoa brown is softer.
• Do not crowd the widget with many decorations.
