Monochrome world clock widget

What a monochrome world clock widget shows

A world clock widget is for anyone with family, friends or colleagues in another time zone. Three cities in columns, each with its time and a day hint, answer "is it too late to call?" at a glance.

Each clock layer in WidgetCraft can use its own time zone, chosen by city. It is free, works offline and needs no permission; daylight saving is handled automatically.

How the monochrome style shapes it

Monochrome widgets use no color at all. Black, white and two greys create the hierarchy, which makes any wallpaper work and gives the home screen a consistent, graphic look.

• Numbers: Make the number black and heavy; the label beneath in mid grey.
• Text: Use weight instead of color: bold for the value, regular grey for the label.

How to make a monochrome world clock widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #FFFFFF and the corner radius to 16.
2. Tap Add and choose Clock. Set the format to hours and minutes, the font to built-in Sans, the size to 35 and the color to #0E0E0E.
3. Duplicate the clock twice and space the three about 112 apart. Open each copy's details, choose Time zone and pick its city.
4. Add a Text label above each clock with the city name at size 12 in #7D7D7D, and the offset below it.
5. Add thin Shape dividers between the columns and a short rule in #0E0E0E under your own city.
6. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Tips for monochrome world clock widgets

• Check that black and white swap cleanly if you make a dark version.
• Use two greys at most.
• Three cities fit a 4 × 2 widget; four make the numbers too small.
• Add the day offset, such as "+1 day", when a city is already tomorrow.
• Put your own city first so the others read relative to it.
• Do not add a colored accent; it breaks the effect.
• Do not use low-contrast grey on grey for values.
