What a Y2K battery widget shows

A battery widget turns one number into a shape you can read without thinking. A ring that fills clockwise is the clearest form, with the percentage inside it.

Battery level is a free, built-in source in WidgetCraft and needs no permission. The widget refreshes when the charge changes or the charger is connected.

How the Y2K style shapes it

Y2K widgets recall the year 2000: glossy bubble shapes, icy blue and hot pink, chrome highlights and playful rounded type, like an old music player skin.
