Instructions for using 'At A Glance' Widget from Kadavara Kustom Pack

You might already know that when Google released the Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, there was a widget that came bundled with the Pixel Launcher on these phones which was called 'At A Glance'. Here's my take on the 'At A Glance' widget and I have kept it close to stock. I have also added some more customisation options. So, let's get started!


How to add the widget to your homescreen?

  • Add a KWGT 4x2 blank widget on your homescreen.
  • Tap on it and go to Installed section, tap on Kadavara Kustom Pack and select Pixel 2 'At A Glance' Widget.
  • Tap on the Save button and you're done!
NOTE: In case, you want to use this in your Kustom wallpapers, you can easily do so. Just add a new komponent and select Pixel 2 'At A Glance' from the Installed section.



Customisations Available and Globals Explained:
All the customisations are available in the Globals section. Why wait, let's proceed to the Globals section!
