What a Swiss battery widget shows

A battery widget turns one number into a shape you can read without thinking. A ring that fills clockwise is the clearest form, with the percentage inside it.

Battery level is a free, built-in source in WidgetCraft and needs no permission. The widget refreshes when the charge changes or the charger is connected.

How the Swiss style shapes it

Swiss style, also called International Typographic Style, relies on a strict grid, a neutral sans, left alignment and strong size contrast, usually in black, white and red.

Bars and rings: Use a single red bar or block as the only graphic.
Numbers: Make the number very large and tight, aligned to the left grid line.

How to make a Swiss battery widget in WidgetCraft

Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #FFFFFF and the corner radius to 0.
Tap Add and choose Ring. Set the diameter to 120 and the stroke to 12.
Open Data for the ring and connect it to Battery level with a range of 0 to 100.
Color the progress #E30613 and the track #6B6B6B at about 28% opacity.
Add a Battery layer in the center at size 44 in #000000, then a small Text label underneath.
Add the Swiss ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a solid red bar, 10 points tall, across the full width at the top.
Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Tips for Swiss battery widgets

Align everything to the same left margin.
Use red for one element only.
Start the ring at the top and fill clockwise; other start points are harder to read.
Keep the track visible at low opacity so an almost-empty ring still looks like a ring.
A battery widget shows the phone only. Earbuds and watches need their maker's own widget.
Do not center text.
Do not use decorative fonts.
