Neumorphic music widget

What a neumorphic music widget shows

A now-playing widget shows cover art, the track and artist, a progress line and three controls. It works with whichever app is playing, not one particular service.

Reading the current track needs Android's notification access and a media connection, which is a Pro feature in WidgetCraft. The controls send play, pause and skip to the app that is playing.

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.

• Photos: Avoid photos or use a small round one inset like a button.
• Text: Use a mid-dark slate for text; pure black looks pasted on.
• Bars and rings: Draw rings and bars as the same grey with a soft shadow, with a small blue fill.

How to make a neumorphic music widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #E6EAF0 and the corner radius to 28.
2. Open Data and set up the media connection; Android will ask for notification access.
3. Add an Image layer, 140 × 140 with radius 18, and connect it to the cover art.
4. Add two Text layers connected to the track title (size 20, #3B4252) and the artist (size 14, #8B93A5).
5. Add a Progress layer as a thick 12-point bar with rounded ends in #5B7CFA, then three shapes for the controls. In Tap, assign previous, play/pause and next.
6. 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 neumorphic music widgets

• Make the widget background match the wallpaper color exactly.
• Use shadow radius 10 to 14 with low opacity.
• Long titles must truncate on one line; never let them wrap into the controls.
• Make each control at least 48 dp wide so it is easy to hit.
• The widget only shows a track while a media app has an active session.
• Do not use hard outlines.
• Do not use it over a photo wallpaper; the illusion needs a flat color.
