Pink home screen setup
Pink widgets cover everything from pale blush to hot pink. This recipe uses a blush background, a deep rose text color and a bright pink accent so it stays readable. This setup uses three widgets, one wallpaper and one palette so the whole screen reads as a single design.
The three pink widgets
- Pink clock widget (4 × 2): shows the time in large numerals with the day and date beneath.
- Pink countdown widget (4 × 2): counts the days left until a date you choose.
- Pink to-do list widget (4 × 2): keeps today's tasks on your home screen with boxes you can tick.
Place them top to bottom in that order and leave the row above the dock empty so the wallpaper has room.
Clock widget settings
A digital clock is the widget most people place first. It needs to be readable from arm's length, so the time takes most of the space and the date sits quietly below it.
- Canvas: 360 × 180, background #FFE4EC, corner radius 26
- Layout: header: weekday on the left and date on the right in one row at the top, a hairline under it, and the time anchored to the bottom left at size 83
- Text or Date: weekday, Nunito, size 12, color #B5758A
- Numbers: Make numbers berry and bold.

Countdown widget settings
A countdown widget keeps one date in view: a trip, a birthday, an exam or a launch. The number of days is the hero, the event name gives it meaning and a bar shows how far along you are.
- Canvas: 360 × 180, background #FFE4EC, corner radius 26
- Layout: stacked: label, number and event name, left aligned
- Text: label "Days until", size 12, color #B5758A
- Numbers: Make numbers berry and bold.

To-do list widget settings
A to-do widget works when it is short. Three tasks, a clear title and a box to tap are enough; a long list belongs in an app.
- Canvas: 360 × 200, background #FFE4EC, corner radius 26
- Text: title "Today", Nunito, size 22, color #6B1F3A
- Text: count such as "1 of 3", size 12, color #B5758A, right aligned
- Lists: Use round pink checkboxes.

How to set up a pink home screen
- Set the wallpaper first, so you can judge every color against it.
- Build the clock widget and add it to the home screen at 4 × 2.
- Duplicate its canvas settings for the countdown and to-do list widgets so the background, radius and outline match exactly.
- Place all three, then adjust margins until the left edges line up.
- Change the icons last, and remove any app you do not use daily from the page.

Fonts for a pink home screen
Use Nunito (import the font file), or the built-in Sans at weight 700. Corner radius is 26 on every widget so the shapes match.
Do and avoid
- Use three pinks: light for the background, mid for tracks, bright for the accent.
- Choose a dark berry instead of black.
- Do not put white text on pale pink.
- Do not add other bright colors.
