What a Y2K world clock widget shows
A world clock widget is for anyone with family, friends or colleagues in another time zone. Three cities in columns, each with its time and a day hint, answer "is it too late to call?" at a glance.
Each clock layer in WidgetCraft can use its own time zone, chosen by city. It is free, works offline and needs no permission; daylight saving is handled automatically.
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.
- Numbers: Put the number in a pill or bubble shape with a light gradient.
- Text: Use rounded bold type in indigo, and add a pink label for contrast.

Tips for Y2K world clock widgets
- Use gradients from light blue to white for a gel look.
- Round everything, including the outline.
- Three cities fit a 4 × 2 widget; four make the numbers too small.
- Add the day offset, such as "+1 day", when a city is already tomorrow.
- Put your own city first so the others read relative to it.
- Do not use square corners.
- Do not use muted or earthy colors.
