What a spring date widget shows

A date widget is the calm alternative to a clock: one large number for the day, with the weekday above and the month below. It suits small 2 × 2 spaces and pairs well with a clock elsewhere on the screen.

It uses the phone's date, so it is free, works offline and needs no permission. WidgetCraft's Date layer takes a pattern, so each line can show a different part of the date.

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.

Numbers: Keep numbers green with a blossom-pink label.
Text: Use stem green for text.

Tips for spring date widgets

Pair green with one flower color.
Keep backgrounds almost white.
Make the day number at least twice the size of the other lines.
Write the month in full if there is room; short forms such as "Nov" look cramped in serif fonts.
Pair it with a clock widget in the same font rather than squeezing the time into the same 2 × 2 space.
Do not use dark heavy colors.
Do not use more than two accents.
