Neon sticky note widget

What a neon sticky note widget shows

A sticky note widget holds a few words you need to see: a shopping list, a reminder, a phone number. It works best short, with a bold title and three or four lines.

Type the note straight into a Text layer, or keep notes in WidgetCraft's Tasks, notes & habits section and show them with the Saved notes list. Both are free, stay on the phone and need no permission.

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.

• Text: Color text in one neon tone and keep labels in a dim violet grey.

How to make a neon sticky note widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #0B0714 and the corner radius to 18. Add a 2-point outline.
2. Add a Shape 52 × 16 at the top center in #31E8FF at 75% opacity, like a strip of tape, and rotate it 2°.
3. Add a Text layer for the title at size 20 in #FF4FD8 using Tilt Neon.
4. Add a second Text layer for the note, one item per line, at size 15 with line spacing 1.7. To show notes you keep in the app instead, add Saved notes.
5. Add thin Shape rules under each line in #8F7FB3 at 30% opacity for a ruled-paper look.
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.

Tips for neon sticky note widgets

• Add a shadow in the same color as the text with radius 8 to 12 for glow.
• Use two neon colors at most.
• Four short lines is the most a 2 × 2 note can hold at a readable size.
• Use line breaks rather than long sentences so the note scans at a glance.
• For a list you tick off, use a to-do widget instead.
• Do not put neon on light backgrounds.
• Do not fill large areas with neon color; outlines glow better.
