Winter calendar widget

What a winter 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 winter style shapes it

Winter widgets are cool and quiet: snow white, ice blue and slate, with thin type and a crisp, frosty feel.

• Numbers: Use thin numerals, centered.
• Lists: Thin dividers and round outline checkboxes.

How to make a winter calendar widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #EEF5FB and the corner radius to 24.
2. Add a Shape on the left, 104 × 124 with radius 20, filled with #5AA9E6.
3. Add two Date layers over it: the short weekday at size 13 and the day number at size 58, both in #000000.
4. Add a Text label "Next" at size 11 in #7E94AD.
5. Add a List layer, open Data and choose your calendar. Set the title to size 19 in #1F3550 and the time to size 14 in #7E94AD.
6. Add the winter ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: sixteen small glacier-blue dots scattered across the background as snow.
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.
