What a Y2K year progress widget shows

A year-progress widget is a gentle nudge: one bar that fills from 1 January to 31 December. The same layout works for the day, the week or a personal goal.

It is calculated from the date, so it is free, offline and needs no permission. WidgetCraft includes a free Day progress component, and a formula can stretch it to the year.

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.

How to make a Y2K year progress widget in WidgetCraft

  1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to gradient #DDF1FF to #BFE2FF at 45° and the corner radius to 32. Add a 2-point outline.
  2. Tap Add and choose Progress. Make it 312 wide, styled as a thick 12-point bar with rounded ends.
  3. Open Data and connect it to the day of the year with a range of 0 to 365.
  4. Color the progress #FF5FA2 and keep the track faint.
  5. Add a Text layer for the percentage at size 68 in #2A2E6E, and a smaller one for the day count at size 13 in #7C86B8.
  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.
