What a paper battery widget shows

A battery widget turns one number into a shape you can read without thinking. A ring that fills clockwise is the clearest form, with the percentage inside it.

Battery level is a free, built-in source in WidgetCraft and needs no permission. The widget refreshes when the charge changes or the charger is connected.

How the paper style shapes it

Paper widgets look like sticky notes or index cards on a desk: flat yellow or white paper, a soft shadow underneath and dark pencil-grey text.

Bars and rings: Use thick marker-style bars.
Numbers: Write the number big with a marker-red underline.

How to make a paper battery widget in WidgetCraft

Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #FFF3A6 and the corner radius to 4.
Tap Add and choose Ring. Set the diameter to 120 and the stroke to 12.
Open Data for the ring and connect it to Battery level with a range of 0 to 100.
Color the progress #E2574C and the track #8A8468 at about 28% opacity.
Add a Battery layer in the center at size 44 in #33312B, then a small Text label underneath.
Add the paper ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a folded corner at the bottom right made from two small triangles, one slightly darker.
Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Tips for paper battery widgets

Add a soft shadow below the note.
Keep corners nearly square, like real paper.
Start the ring at the top and fill clockwise; other start points are harder to read.
Keep the track visible at low opacity so an almost-empty ring still looks like a ring.
A battery widget shows the phone only. Earbuds and watches need their maker's own widget.
Do not use glossy effects.
Do not use white text.
