Light academia sticky note widget

What a light academia 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 light academia style shapes it

Light academia is the daytime version of dark academia: cream and linen backgrounds, soft brown text, a muted gold and airy serif type. It suits study timers, reading lists and quotes.

• Text: Use a refined serif in soft brown, with italic for a single word of emphasis.

How to make a light academia sticky note widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #F6F1E7 and the corner radius to 10.
2. Add a Shape 52 × 16 at the top center in #B5925A at 75% opacity, like a strip of tape, and rotate it 2°.
3. Add a Text layer for the title at size 20 in #4B3F33 using Playfair Display.
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 #9B8E7E at 30% opacity for a ruled-paper look.
6. Add the light academia ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: two short antique-gold rules, centered at the top and bottom.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.
