Red step counter widget

What a red 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 red style shapes it

Red widgets are bold and energetic. This recipe sets white text on a deep red with a darker red for tracks; red and black is the classic alternative.

• Bars and rings: Use a white or amber bar on an oxblood track.
• Numbers: Keep numbers white and bold.

Tips for red step counter widgets

• Use red as the background and white as text.
• Add black as a third color if needed.
• 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 red text on black for small sizes; it is hard to read.
• Do not mix with pink.
