How To Customize The At A Glance Widget On Android 12

Android 12 brings a lot of personalization to the table, making it possible to not only customize a widget but also how those look. One of the sole exceptions to that, unfortunately, is “At a Glance.” While the widget doesn’t, on its own, look terrible, it also doesn’t support the latest theme elements to quite the same extent. Meaning that some users will be left with at least one widget, loaded with potential information, that doesn’t support the colors to help it match the rest of their UI. Moreover, some users may want to keep the widget for its date information and calendar entries. But not for its weather details. Or not for other details that are supported by other widgets. But having duplicated information on-screen is, summarily, almost worse. So let’s take a look at how to change all of that.

Now, one of the most common reasons for anybody to customize the At a Glance widget in Android 12 is arguably going to be to remove duplicate information. While the widget is incredibly useful, it isn’t the prettiest one on Android 12. Especially for those who want the new look offered by the Android 12 Weather widget. Which, conversely, does fully support Material You theming. Fortunately, it’s a fairly straightforward process.

Of course, those toggles aren’t the only aspect of the At a Glance widget that you can customize in Android 12 either. In fact, you can also customize location history, home, work, and other addresses, as well as whether sensitive information is shown on your lock screen via At a Glance.
