Vaporwave quote widget

What a vaporwave quote widget shows

A quote widget is pure typography, so the style shows more clearly here than anywhere else. Line length, line spacing and the size of the quotation mark do the design work.

It is plain text you type yourself: free, offline and with no permission. Change the words whenever you like.

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.

• Text: Use wide capitals in white with a pink or teal label underneath.

How to make a vaporwave quote 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 Text layer and type your quote. Set the font to Righteous, the size to 22 and the color to #FFFFFF.
3. Press return where you want the line to break, and set the alignment to center.
4. Add a second Text layer with just an opening quotation mark at size 54 in #FF71CE.
5. Add the author on its own Text layer at size 12 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.

Tips for vaporwave quote widgets

• Set the background to a gradient from purple to blue at an angle.
• Use pink and teal as the only accents.
• Keep quotes under about 12 words so the text can stay large.
• Break lines by meaning, not wherever the text happens to wrap.
• Always credit the author on a separate, smaller line.
• Do not use dark grey text; white reads best on the gradient.
• Do not add extra colors beyond pink, purple and teal.
