Nothing-style widgets for Android
Dot-matrix numerals, black, white and a single red dot. Nothing-style widgets copy the dot-matrix look of Nothing phones: numerals built from dots, strict black and white, small technical labels and one red accent. A dot-matrix font does most of the work.
Also known as: dot matrix widgets, nothing os widgets, nothing phone style widgets, led widgets.

Design rules
- Text: Use a dot-matrix font for headings and a plain mono for small labels in capitals.
- Numbers: Set the number in the dot-matrix font as large as the widget allows.
- Bars and rings: Build progress from rows of small dots or short segments.
- Photos: Convert photos to black and white with high contrast.
- Lists: Start each row with a small square dot; mark the active row in red.
Do
- Import a free dot-matrix font such as Doto.
- Use red only as a single dot or one word.
Avoid
- Do not add color beyond the red accent.
- Do not use more than one dot-matrix line per widget; it gets hard to read.
Wallpaper and icons
Pure black or white, or a greyscale photo.
Monochrome icon packs; Nothing phones also offer a built-in monochrome option.
