Design rules

• Text: Set every label in capitals with wide spacing, like a stencil or a shipping label.
• Numbers: Make numerals huge, bold and tightly packed so they almost touch the frame.
• Bars and rings: Draw progress as solid blocks or a thick bar with square ends, never rounded.
• Photos: Use high-contrast black-and-white photos with a thick border and no rounded corners.
• Lists: Separate rows with full-width black rules and use square checkboxes.

Do

• Keep corner radius at 0 and outlines at 3 to 4 points.
• Use one loud accent against black and off-white.

Avoid

• Do not add shadows, gradients or transparency.
• Do not use light font weights.

Wallpaper and icons

A flat off-white, concrete grey or solid orange wallpaper works best. Photos of raw concrete or architecture also fit.

Choose a black glyph or outline icon pack; hide labels if your launcher allows it.
