What a pastel step counter widget shows

A step widget shows one number and how close it is to a goal. A ring on one side and the count on the other reads well at a glance.

Steps come from Health Connect, which needs a compatible phone, your permission and a fitness connection (a Pro feature in WidgetCraft). The numbers are whatever your phone or watch has recorded; the widget does not count steps itself.

How the pastel style shapes it

Pastel widgets use pale pink, mint, lilac and butter yellow with very round corners and soft type. They feel light and friendly and work well for moods, music and small daily notes.

Bars and rings: Use thick bars and rings with fully rounded ends in a second pastel tint.
Numbers: Keep numbers bold and rounded and tint them slightly darker than the background.

Tips for pastel step counter widgets

Use corner radius of 28 or more.
Choose text in dark brown or plum, not pure black.
Show the goal next to the count so the ring has meaning.
Step data can lag by a few minutes depending on the app that records it.
This is an activity display, not medical advice.
Do not use more than three tints in one widget.
Do not use thin hairlines; they look harsh here.
