Purple step counter widget
A purple step counter widget shows today's steps against your goal. Lavender to deep violet with a dreamy feel. This page gives the exact colors, type settings and layers, with a preview drawn from the same values.

What a purple 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 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.
- Bars and rings: Use violet bars on a lilac track.
- Numbers: Keep numbers plum and semi-bold.
