Neumorphic calendar widget design preview: Soft, raised shapes that look pressed out of the background. — Design preview drawn from the recipe below. Example values are shown; your widget uses live data.

What a neumorphic calendar widget shows

A calendar widget answers two questions: what day is it, and what is next. The date sits in a bold block on the left and the next event takes the right side.

The date works with no permission. Showing events needs Android's calendar permission and a calendar connection, which is a Pro feature in WidgetCraft. Without it you can still build the date block on its own for free.

How the neumorphic style shapes it

Neumorphic widgets appear moulded from the same material as the background. Shapes are the same color as the surface and are defined only by a soft light edge and a soft shadow.

Numbers: Center the number in slate and keep it semi-bold.
Lists: Place rows on slightly darker pills with soft shadows.

Tips for neumorphic calendar widgets

Make the widget background match the wallpaper color exactly.
Use shadow radius 10 to 14 with low opacity.
Event titles vary in length, so give the title a single line and let it truncate.
Show one or two events at most in a 4 × 2 widget.
If no events appear, check that the calendar you chose is the one your events are saved in.
Do not use hard outlines.
Do not use it over a photo wallpaper; the illusion needs a flat color.
