What a neon 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 neon style shapes it

Neon widgets imitate glowing tube signs: bright pink, cyan or lime outlines on a very dark ground with a soft halo. They are striking at night and pair well with dark wallpapers.
