Neumorphic photo widget
A neumorphic photo widget frames a favorite picture with a short caption. Soft, raised shapes that look pressed out of the background. This page gives the exact colors, type settings and layers, with a preview drawn from the same values.
What a neumorphic photo widget shows
A photo widget puts a person, place or pet on the home screen without making it the wallpaper. The frame, the crop and the caption decide whether it feels designed or just pasted in.
You pick the picture with Android's photo picker, so WidgetCraft needs no storage permission, and the photo stays on your phone. It is a free element.
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.

Tips for neumorphic photo widgets
- Make the widget background match the wallpaper color exactly.
- Use shadow radius 10 to 14 with low opacity.
- Choose a photo whose subject sits in the middle; widgets crop the edges.
- Portrait photos suit 2 × 2 or tall widgets better than wide ones.
- Very large images make widgets slow; let the app resize the photo when asked.
- Do not use hard outlines.
- Do not use it over a photo wallpaper; the illusion needs a flat color.
