Line art quote widget
A line art quote widget displays a line you want to see every day. 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 quote widget shows
A quote widget is pure typography, so the style shows more clearly here than anywhere else. Line length, line spacing and the size of the quotation mark do the design work.
It is plain text you type yourself: free, offline and with no permission. Change the words whenever you like.
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.
- Text: Use light-weight capitals with wide spacing in white.

Tips for line art quote widgets
- Set the fill fully transparent and the outline to 1.5 to 2 points.
- Match stroke width across every layer.
- Keep quotes under about 12 words so the text can stay large.
- Break lines by meaning, not wherever the text happens to wrap.
- Always credit the author on a separate, smaller line.
- Do not use bold fonts.
- Do not use it on busy wallpapers; the lines get lost.
