Nothing-style calendar widget

What a Nothing-style 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 Nothing-style style shapes it

Nothing-style widgets copy the dot-matrix look of Nothing phones: numerals built from dots, strict black and white, small technical labels and one red accent. A dot-matrix font does most of the work.

• Numbers: Set the number in the dot-matrix font as large as the widget allows.
• Lists: Start each row with a small square dot; mark the active row in red.

How to make a Nothing-style calendar widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #0A0A0A and the corner radius to 26.
2. Add a Shape on the left, 104 × 124 with radius 20, filled with #D71921.
3. Add two Date layers over it: the short weekday at size 13 and the day number at size 58, both in #FFFFFF.
4. Add a Text label "Next" at size 11 in #8A8A8A.
5. Add a List layer, open Data and choose your calendar. Set the title to size 19 in #FFFFFF and the time to size 14 in #8A8A8A.
6. Add the Nothing-style ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a row of small dots along the bottom, the first six in red.
7. 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 Nothing-style calendar widgets

• Import a free dot-matrix font such as Doto.
• Use red only as a single dot or one word.
• 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 add color beyond the red accent.
• Do not use more than one dot-matrix line per widget; it gets hard to read.
