Line art widgets for Android
Everything drawn with thin outlines and no fills. Line art widgets are transparent with a thin outline, so the wallpaper shows through. Rings, bars and frames are single strokes, which looks light and elegant on photo wallpapers.
Also known as: outline widgets, line widgets, wireframe widgets.

Design rules
- Text: Use light-weight capitals with wide spacing in white.
- Numbers: Use a thin weight for numbers so they match the strokes.
- Bars and rings: Draw rings and bars as 2 point strokes; show progress with a brighter stroke.
- Photos: Skip photos; the wallpaper is the picture.
- Lists: Use outlined circles as checkboxes and a thin divider.
Do
- Set the fill fully transparent and the outline to 1.5 to 2 points.
- Match stroke width across every layer.
Avoid
- Do not use bold fonts.
- Do not use it on busy wallpapers; the lines get lost.
