Neumorphic widgets for Android
Soft, raised shapes that look pressed out of the background. Neumorphic widgets appear moulded from the same material as the background. Shapes are the same color as the surface and are defined only by a soft light edge and a soft shadow.
Also known as: neumorphism widgets, soft ui widgets, 3d soft widgets.

Design rules
- Text: Use a mid-dark slate for text; pure black looks pasted on.
- Numbers: Center the number in slate and keep it semi-bold.
- Bars and rings: Draw rings and bars as the same grey with a soft shadow, with a small blue fill.
- Photos: Avoid photos or use a small round one inset like a button.
- Lists: Place rows on slightly darker pills with soft shadows.
Do
- Make the widget background match the wallpaper color exactly.
- Use shadow radius 10 to 14 with low opacity.
Avoid
- Do not use hard outlines.
- Do not use it over a photo wallpaper; the illusion needs a flat color.
Wallpaper and icons
A flat wallpaper in exactly the same grey as the widget.
