Red year progress widget
A red year progress widget shows how much of the year has passed as a percentage and a bar. Bold red with black or white for strong contrast. This page gives the exact colors, type settings and layers, with a preview drawn from the same values.
What a red year progress widget shows
A year-progress widget is a gentle nudge: one bar that fills from 1 January to 31 December. The same layout works for the day, the week or a personal goal.
It is calculated from the date, so it is free, offline and needs no permission. WidgetCraft includes a free Day progress component, and a formula can stretch it to the year.
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 year progress widgets
- Use red as the background and white as text.
- Add black as a third color if needed.
- Show both the percentage and the day count so the bar has context.
- Use a segmented bar if you want each step to feel like a milestone.
- For a goal of your own, connect the bar to a counter instead of the date.
- Do not use red text on black for small sizes; it is hard to read.
- Do not mix with pink.
