Summer calendar widget

What a summer 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 summer style shapes it

Summer widgets are bright and warm: turquoise sea, coral, sunshine yellow and white, with bold friendly type. Good for holiday countdowns and step goals.

• Numbers: Keep numbers teal and bold with a coral label.
• Lists: Use it as a packing list with coral checkboxes.

How to make a summer calendar widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #E8FBFF and the corner radius to 26.
2. Add a Shape on the left, 104 × 124 with radius 20, filled with #FF6B5E.
3. Add two Date layers over it: the short weekday at size 13 and the day number at size 58, both in #000000.
4. Add a Text label "Next" at size 11 in #5E99A6.
5. Add a List layer, open Data and choose your calendar. Set the title to size 19 in #0B3C49 and the time to size 14 in #5E99A6.
6. Add the summer ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a yellow sun (circle) in the top right and a wavy lagoon-blue band along the bottom.
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.
