Vaporwave year progress widget
A vaporwave year progress widget shows how much of the year has passed as a percentage and a bar. Sunset gradients, pink and teal, and 1980s nostalgia. This page gives the exact colors, type settings and layers, with a preview drawn from the same values.

What a vaporwave year progress widget shows
A year-progress widget is a gentle nudge: one bar that fills from 1 January to 31 December. The same layout works for the day, the week or a personal goal.
It is calculated from the date, so it is free, offline and needs no permission. WidgetCraft includes a free Day progress component, and a formula can stretch it to the year.
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.

Tips for vaporwave year progress widgets
- Set the background to a gradient from purple to blue at an angle.
- Use pink and teal as the only accents.
- Show both the percentage and the day count so the bar has context.
- Use a segmented bar if you want each step to feel like a milestone.
- For a goal of your own, connect the bar to a counter instead of the date.
- Do not use dark grey text; white reads best on the gradient.
- Do not add extra colors beyond pink, purple and teal.
