Neon year progress widget

What a neon year progress widget shows

A year-progress widget is a gentle nudge: one bar that fills from 1 January to 31 December. The same layout works for the day, the week or a personal goal.

It is calculated from the date, so it is free, offline and needs no permission. WidgetCraft includes a free Day progress component, and a formula can stretch it to the year.

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 year progress 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. Tap Add and choose Progress. Make it 312 wide, styled as a thin 4-point bar.
3. Open Data and connect it to the day of the year with a range of 0 to 365.
4. Color the progress #31E8FF and keep the track faint.
5. Add a Text layer for the percentage at size 68 in #FF4FD8, and a smaller one for the day count at size 13 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.

Everything in this recipe works in the free version.

Tips for neon year progress 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 both the percentage and the day count so the bar has context.
• Use a segmented bar if you want each step to feel like a milestone.
• For a goal of your own, connect the bar to a counter instead of the date.
• Do not put neon on light backgrounds.
• Do not fill large areas with neon color; outlines glow better.
