White calendar widget
A white calendar widget shows today's date beside your next event. Bright white cards with soft grey text. This page gives the exact colors, type settings and layers, with a preview drawn from the same values.

What a white 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 white style shapes it
White widgets are bright, light cards with grey and black text and a pale accent. They make a home screen look open and tidy, especially over light wallpapers.
- Numbers: Keep numbers charcoal and medium weight.
- Lists: Light dividers and round outline checkboxes.

Tips for white calendar widgets
- Add a very soft shadow so white cards lift off light wallpapers.
- Keep one cool accent.
- 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 pure black text; charcoal is softer.
- Do not use it on a white wallpaper without a shadow or outline.
