Y2K to-do list widget

What a Y2K to-do list widget shows

A to-do widget works when it is short. Three tasks, a clear title and a box to tap are enough; a long list belongs in an app.

WidgetCraft stores local tasks on the phone, which is a free source and needs no account or permission. Tapping a row can tick the task from the home screen.

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.

• Lists: Give each row a small star or heart marker in pink.
• Text: Use rounded bold type in indigo, and add a pink label for contrast.

How to make a Y2K to-do list widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 200, the background to gradient #DDF1FF to #BFE2FF at 45° and the corner radius to 32. Add a 2-point outline.
2. Add a Text layer for the title "Today" at size 22 in #2A2E6E.
3. Tap Add and choose List. In Data, choose your local task list and limit it to three rows.
4. Set the row text to size 16 in #2A2E6E and the checkbox to 18 × 18 with radius 9.
5. Style finished rows in #7C86B8 and set the tick color to #FF5FA2. In Tap, set a row tap to tick the task.
6. Add the Y2K ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a soft white oval highlight across the top for a glossy gel look, and a four-point pink sparkle in the top right.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.
