Kawaii date widget
A kawaii date widget shows the weekday, a large day number and the month. Cute, round and cheerful with pinks, creams and tiny faces. This page gives the exact colors, type settings and layers, with a preview drawn from the same values.
What a kawaii date widget shows
A date widget is the calm alternative to a clock: one large number for the day, with the weekday above and the month below. It suits small 2 × 2 spaces and pairs well with a clock elsewhere on the screen.
It uses the phone's date, so it is free, works offline and needs no permission. WidgetCraft's Date layer takes a pattern, so each line can show a different part of the date.
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.
- Text: Use extra-bold rounded type in cocoa and write in a friendly, short way.

Tips for kawaii date widgets
- Use radius 30 or more on everything.
- Add one small heart or star shape as decoration.
- Make the day number at least twice the size of the other lines.
- Write the month in full if there is room; short forms such as "Nov" look cramped in serif fonts.
- Pair it with a clock widget in the same font rather than squeezing the time into the same 2 × 2 space.
- Do not use black; cocoa brown is softer.
- Do not crowd the widget with many decorations.
