What a sakura photo widget shows

A photo widget puts a person, place or pet on the home screen without making it the wallpaper. The frame, the crop and the caption decide whether it feels designed or just pasted in.

You pick the picture with Android's photo picker, so WidgetCraft needs no storage permission, and the photo stays on your phone. It is a free element.

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.
