Purple music widget

What a purple music widget shows

A now-playing widget shows cover art, the track and artist, a progress line and three controls. It works with whichever app is playing, not one particular service.

Reading the current track needs Android's notification access and a media connection, which is a Pro feature in WidgetCraft. The controls send play, pause and skip to the app that is playing.

How the purple style shapes it

Purple widgets use lavender backgrounds, deep plum text and a bright violet accent. They look gentle in light tones and dramatic in dark ones.

• Photos: Lavender fields or twilight skies fit.
• Text: Use plum for text and heather for labels.
• Bars and rings: Use violet bars on a lilac track.

How to make a purple music widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #EFE6FF and the corner radius to 24.
2. Open Data and set up the media connection; Android will ask for notification access.
3. Add an Image layer, 140 × 140 with radius 14, and connect it to the cover art.
4. Add two Text layers connected to the track title (size 20, #2E1B57) and the artist (size 14, #8573AD).
5. Add a Progress layer as a thick 12-point bar with rounded ends in #8B5CF6, then three shapes for the controls. In Tap, assign previous, play/pause and next.
6. 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 purple music widgets

• Keep to one purple hue across three lightness levels.
• Use the brightest violet for progress only.
• Long titles must truncate on one line; never let them wrap into the controls.
• Make each control at least 48 dp wide so it is easy to hit.
• The widget only shows a track while a media app has an active session.
• Do not pair with strong yellow unless you want high contrast.
• Do not use grey text; tint it purple.
