Vaporwave step counter widget

What a vaporwave step counter widget shows

A step widget shows one number and how close it is to a goal. A ring on one side and the count on the other reads well at a glance.

Steps come from Health Connect, which needs a compatible phone, your permission and a fitness connection (a Pro feature in WidgetCraft). The numbers are whatever your phone or watch has recorded; the widget does not count steps itself.

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.

• Bars and rings: Use a pink bar on a translucent white track, or a half sun made from a circle.
• Numbers: Center the number in white over the gradient and keep it bold.

How to make a vaporwave step counter 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. Open Data and connect Health Connect, allowing access to steps.
3. Tap Add and choose Ring. Set the diameter to 104 and the stroke to 12, and connect it to steps with a range from 0 to your goal.
4. Color the progress #FF71CE.
5. Add a Text layer connected to the step count at size 46 in #FFFFFF, plus a label and your goal 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 step counter widgets

• Set the background to a gradient from purple to blue at an angle.

• Show the goal next to the count so the ring has meaning.
• Step data can lag by a few minutes depending on the app that records it.
• This is an activity display, not medical advice.

• Do not add extra colors beyond pink, purple and teal.
