Line art calendar widget
A line art calendar widget shows today's date beside your next event. Everything drawn with thin outlines and no fills. This page gives the exact colors, type settings and layers, with a preview drawn from the same values.
What a line art 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 line art style shapes it
Line art widgets are transparent with a thin outline, so the wallpaper shows through. Rings, bars and frames are single strokes, which looks light and elegant on photo wallpapers.
- Numbers: Use a thin weight for numbers so they match the strokes.
- Lists: Use outlined circles as checkboxes and a thin divider.

Tips for line art calendar widgets
- Set the fill fully transparent and the outline to 1.5 to 2 points.
- Match stroke width across every layer.
- 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 bold fonts.
- Do not use it on busy wallpapers; the lines get lost.
