Neon step counter widget

What a neon step counter widget shows

A step widget shows one number and how close it is to a goal. A ring on one side and the count on the other reads well at a glance.

Steps come from Health Connect, which needs a compatible phone, your permission and a fitness connection (a Pro feature in WidgetCraft). The numbers are whatever your phone or watch has recorded; the widget does not count steps itself.

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.

• Bars and rings: Use outlined bars and rings; fill only the progress part in the second neon color.
• Numbers: Make the number the brightest thing in the widget and add a shadow in the same color for glow.

How to make a neon step counter widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #0B0714 and the corner radius to 18. Add a 2-point outline.
2. Open Data and connect Health Connect, allowing access to steps.
3. Tap Add and choose Ring. Set the diameter to 104 and the stroke to 5, and connect it to steps with a range from 0 to your goal.
4. Color the progress #31E8FF.
5. Add a Text layer connected to the step count at size 46 in #FF4FD8, plus a label and your goal in #8F7FB3.
6. Add the neon ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a second, thinner outline in hot pink inset 8 points, so the frame reads as two glowing tubes.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

The layout and styling are free. The live data connection for this widget needs WidgetCraft Pro, a one-time purchase.

Tips for neon step counter widgets

• Add a shadow in the same color as the text with radius 8 to 12 for glow.
• Use two neon colors at most.
• Show the goal next to the count so the ring has meaning.
• Step data can lag by a few minutes depending on the app that records it.
• This is an activity display, not medical advice.
• Do not put neon on light backgrounds.
• Do not fill large areas with neon color; outlines glow better.
