Line art to-do list widget
A line art to-do list widget keeps today's tasks on your home screen with boxes you can tick. 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 to-do list widget shows
A to-do widget works when it is short. Three tasks, a clear title and a box to tap are enough; a long list belongs in an app.
WidgetCraft stores local tasks on the phone, which is a free source and needs no account or permission. Tapping a row can tick the task from the home screen.
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.
- Lists: Use outlined circles as checkboxes and a thin divider.
- Text: Use light-weight capitals with wide spacing in white.
