Vaporwave sticky note widget

What a vaporwave sticky note widget shows

A sticky note widget holds a few words you need to see: a shopping list, a reminder, a phone number. It works best short, with a bold title and three or four lines.

Type the note straight into a Text layer, or keep notes in WidgetCraft's Tasks, notes & habits section and show them with the Saved notes list. Both are free, stay on the phone and need no permission.

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 sticky note widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to gradient #2B1055 to #7597DE at 45° and the corner radius to 14.
2. Add a Shape 52 × 16 at the top center in #FF71CE at 75% opacity, like a strip of tape, and rotate it 2°.
3. Add a Text layer for the title at size 20 in #FFFFFF using Righteous.
4. Add a second Text layer for the note, one item per line, at size 15 with line spacing 1.7. To show notes you keep in the app instead, add Saved notes.
5. Add thin Shape rules under each line in #E0C3FC at 30% opacity for a ruled-paper look.
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 sticky note widgets

• Set the background to a gradient from purple to blue at an angle.
• Use pink and teal as the only accents.
• Four short lines is the most a 2 × 2 note can hold at a readable size.
• Use line breaks rather than long sentences so the note scans at a glance.
• For a list you tick off, use a to-do widget instead.
• Do not use dark grey text; white reads best on the gradient.
• Do not add extra colors beyond pink, purple and teal.
