Minimal battery widget
A minimal battery widget shows your charge level as a ring with the percentage in the middle. Quiet layouts, one accent color and plenty of empty space. This page gives the exact colors, type settings and layers, with a preview drawn from the same values.
What a minimal battery widget shows
A battery widget turns one number into a shape you can read without thinking. A ring that fills clockwise is the clearest form, with the percentage inside it.
Battery level is a free, built-in source in WidgetCraft and needs no permission. The widget refreshes when the charge changes or the charger is connected.
How the minimal style shapes it
Minimal widgets remove everything that is not information. One typeface, two or three colors, generous margins and no decoration, so the time or the task is the only thing you see.
- Bars and rings: Use hairline bars and thin rings, and use the accent color only on the part that shows progress.
- Numbers: Give the main number at least half the widget height and keep everything else under 14 points.

Tips for minimal battery widgets
- Leave at least 20 points of margin on every side.
- Pick one accent color and use it once per widget.
- Start the ring at the top and fill clockwise; other start points are harder to read.
- Keep the track visible at low opacity so an almost-empty ring still looks like a ring.
- A battery widget shows the phone only. Earbuds and watches need their maker's own widget.
- Do not add icons next to every label.
- Do not mix more than two text sizes below the headline.
