Sakura music widget

What a sakura 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 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.

• Photos: Blossom branches, temples or spring skies with soft light.
• Text: Use bark brown for text; pure black is too harsh on the pale pink.
• Bars and rings: Use blossom-pink bars on a pale track with rounded ends.

How to make a sakura music 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. 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, #3D2B2E) and the artist (size 14, #A88B90).
5. Add a Progress layer as a thick 12-point bar with rounded ends in #F07FA0, then three shapes for the controls. In Tap, assign previous, play/pause and next.
6. 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.
7. 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 sakura music widgets

• Scatter a few petals in one corner only.
• Add a touch of leaf green as the second accent.
• 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 cover the content with petals.
• Do not use saturated hot pink.
