What a spring calendar widget shows

A calendar widget answers two questions: what day is it, and what is next. The date sits in a bold block on the left and the next event takes the right side.

The date works with no permission. Showing events needs Android's calendar permission and a calendar connection, which is a Pro feature in WidgetCraft. Without it you can still build the date block on its own for free.

How the spring style shapes it

Spring widgets feel fresh: new-leaf green, blossom pink and pale yellow on a soft white ground, with rounded friendly type.
