Material You quote widget

What a Material You 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 Material You style shapes it

Material You is the design language Google introduced with Android 12. Widgets use soft tonal colors drawn from the wallpaper, very round corners and big readable numbers. This recipe recreates the look with fixed colors you choose.

• Text: Use a friendly sans at medium weight in a dark tone of the same hue as the background.
