Sakura clock widget

What a sakura clock widget shows

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.

It uses the phone's own time, so it needs no permission and works offline. WidgetCraft's clock layer follows your 12- or 24-hour setting unless you choose a format.

How the sakura style shapes it

Sakura widgets borrow the colors of cherry blossom season: pale petal pink on a soft white ground, a dark bark brown for text and a deeper blossom accent, with drifting petals.

• Numbers: Use rounded numerals at a medium weight.
• Text: Use bark brown for text; pure black is too harsh on the pale pink.

How to make a sakura clock widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #FFF7F8 and the corner radius to 24.
2. Tap Add and choose Clock. Set the format to hours and minutes, the font to Zen Maru Gothic, the size to 78 and the color to #3D2B2E.
3. Add a Date layer above it for the weekday at size 12 in #A88B90.
4. Add a second Date layer below for the day and month at size 15.
5. Add a small Shape in #F07FA0 as the only accent, and align every layer to the same left margin of 24.
6. Arrange the layers in the header layout: 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.
7. Add the sakura ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: four falling petals (small rotated ovals in sakura pink, two of them paler) in the top right.
8. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Tips for sakura clock widgets

• Scatter a few petals in one corner only.
• Add a touch of leaf green as the second accent.
• Seconds make a home screen widget look busy and Android updates widgets about once a minute, so leave them out.
• Check the widest time, such as 22:58 or 12:48 PM, so it never touches the edges.
• If the launcher crops the widget, reduce the time size before reducing the margins.
• Do not cover the content with petals.
• Do not use saturated hot pink.
