What a spring 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 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.
