Digital Date Widget

The Digital Date Widget displays the current date in a customizable format.

While clocks show time, this widget is dedicated to displaying the full date (e.g., “Monday, January 15th”). It complements clock widgets to provide a complete temporal context.

  • Format Control: Use standard date format strings (e.g., MMMM d, yyyy for “January 1, 2024”).
  • Timezones: Can display the date for a different region than the local browser.
  • Styling: Typography controls for font family, size, weight, and color.
  • Format: Enter a date-fns format string (e.g., EEE, MMM d -> “Mon, Jan 1”).
  • Timezone: Select a specific timezone or use Auto.
  • Alignment: Text alignment (Left, Center, Right).
  • Text: Customize font, weight, and color to match your theme.
  • Background: Transparent or solid background color.
  • Header info: Display “Monday, 12th January” next to a large clock.
  • Compact: “12/01” in a small corner widget.
