Neon to-do list widget

What a neon to-do list widget shows

A to-do widget works when it is short. Three tasks, a clear title and a box to tap are enough; a long list belongs in an app.

WidgetCraft stores local tasks on the phone, which is a free source and needs no account or permission. Tapping a row can tick the task from the home screen.

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.

• Lists: Use a small glowing dot per row and dim finished rows.
• Text: Color text in one neon tone and keep labels in a dim violet grey.

How to make a neon to-do list widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 200, the background to #0B0714 and the corner radius to 18. Add a 2-point outline.
2. Add a Text layer for the title "Today" at size 22 in #FF4FD8.
3. Tap Add and choose List. In Data, choose your local task list and limit it to three rows.
4. Set the row text to size 16 in #FF4FD8 and the checkbox to 18 × 18 with radius 4.
5. Style finished rows in #8F7FB3 and set the tick color to #31E8FF. In Tap, set a row tap to tick the task.
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 to-do list widgets

• Add a shadow in the same color as the text with radius 8 to 12 for glow.
• Use two neon colors at most.
• Limit the list to three or four rows so each stays easy to tap.
• Make finished tasks visibly different: grey text and a strikethrough.
• Tap targets on a widget should be at least 48 dp high.
• Do not put neon on light backgrounds.
• Do not fill large areas with neon color; outlines glow better.
