Vaporwave calendar widget

What a vaporwave 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 vaporwave style shapes it

Vaporwave widgets use a pink-to-purple sunset gradient, teal highlights and wide retro type. The look comes from 1980s graphics remembered through early internet art.

• Numbers: Center the number in white over the gradient and keep it bold.
• Lists: Use teal markers and white text, three rows at most.

How to make a vaporwave calendar widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to gradient #2B1055 to #7597DE at 45° and the corner radius to 14.
2. Add a Shape on the left, 104 × 124 with radius 14, filled with #FF71CE.
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 #E0C3FC.
5. Add a List layer, open Data and choose your calendar. Set the title to size 19 in #FFFFFF and the time to size 14 in #E0C3FC.
6. Add the vaporwave ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a pink half sun (circle) rising from the bottom right, cut by four thin horizontal bars in the background color.
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.

Tips for vaporwave calendar widgets

• Set the background to a gradient from purple to blue at an angle.
• Use pink and teal as the only accents.
• Event titles vary in length, so give the title a single line and let it truncate.
• Show one or two events at most in a 4 × 2 widget.
• If no events appear, check that the calendar you chose is the one your events are saved in.
• Do not use dark grey text; white reads best on the gradient.
• Do not add extra colors beyond pink, purple and teal.
