WidgyKit frosted glass weather and clock widgets

Got a beautiful wallpaper, but every widget you add hides it? Frosted glass (glassmorphism) solves exactly that: the widget looks like a pane of misted glass, letting the colours behind it glow through while the numbers stay clear. Here are WidgyKit's frosted glass widgets and how to use them well.

#What frosted glass is, and why it suits photo wallpapers

A frosted glass widget has three layers: your wallpaper, a translucent blur that softens the detail, and the content on top. Because of that middle layer, the colours of your photo still seep through the widget, so the screen feels continuous instead of being cut into solid blocks.

On iOS 26, Apple brought Liquid Glass to the whole system and added a Clear look for widgets. If you are on iOS 26, Liquid Glass widgets on iOS 26 explains how those modes affect legibility.

#Glass weather: the sky right now, on glass

Glass weather shows the current temperature, conditions and the day's high and low.

• Small: big temperature, a sun-and-cloud icon and your location.
• Medium: adds the next few days.

The weather follows your location; when you install it, the app asks for location access to show the weather where you are.

#Flip glass: a clock for photo wallpapers

Flip glass is the translucent member of the retro flip clock family: two misted cards, plus a greeting and the date in the medium size. Put it next to Glass weather for an instantly matching row.

#Aurora weather: when you want a touch of colour

Not glass exactly, but Aurora weather pairs beautifully: a huge temperature over teal-to-violet northern-light colours. The medium size adds humidity, wind and "feels like". Use it as the colour accent when everything else is translucent.

#Singapore · glass duo

Family or colleagues in Singapore? Singapore · glass duo shows Singapore time next to your home time on frosted glass, with the flag and the weather. You can change the city in Customize. Small and medium. For more ways to follow time zones, see the World trio widget.

#Tips to keep glass widgets readable

• Pick a wallpaper with calm areas where the widget sits: sky, water, a wall. Busy detail makes the blur look blotchy.
• Avoid very bright patches behind white text; move the widget to a darker part of the photo.
• Use one material per row: two glass widgets side by side look tidier than glass next to a solid colour.
